Bronze medalist at the World Figure Skating Championships Elena Radionova told that she considers Rafael Harutyunyan one of the best coaches in the world.
On Saturday, the Astana Figure Skating Federation reported that the figure skater Sofia Samodelkina Since September 1, he has not cooperated with Evgeni Plushenko. In October, the 17-year-old athlete will have a trial and internship in Los Angeles with Harutyunyan.
“I think it’s a good transition.” Rafael is a good coach and psychologist, I’m sure he will be able to settle Sonya and revive her career. The most important thing is that she is motivated, so that she herself wants not only to skate, but to win. I’m sure Rafael will give her a new impetus.
When I choreographed the program with Nadezhda Kanaeva, I was lucky to attend Harutyunyan’s trainings, since the programs were held on the same ice. I had positive impressions from the training. Skated on the same ice with Nathan Chen, Ashley Wagner, Adam Rippon. I liked the way Harutyunyan leads the training process, I consider him one of the best coaches in the world.
— In your opinion, after the injuries and changes, is Samodelkina able to prove her worth?
“I hope this period is behind us. I really want to see Sonya updated, with the same complex content that she showed in the juniors, I think she can do it. She has to relaunch her career. I’m sure Rafael will help us,” Radionova told .
Samodelkina will perform on the Junior Grand Prix stage in Ankara from September 18 to 21.
