“Watching Yagudin, I began to think that success on the ice is the ability to fight for every jump” – coach Tataurov

Figure skating coach Oleg Tataurov said that thanks to the performances of the Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin realized the importance of the fighting qualities of athletes to achieve high results.

“Unfortunately, in adulthood, it becomes difficult to change the jumping technique. And it is not known how this process will proceed – for better or for worse. In this regard, I agree with Alexei Nikolaevich Mishin: if the system works, it is better not to change it. At one time, I remember, I was constantly surprised looking at Daisuke Takahashi, who landed almost at the top, but at the same time performed jumps.

And how did Lesha Yagudin initially go on completely crazy trajectories? Just watching him, I began to think that success on the ice is not an ideal technique or physical condition of a person. And the ability to fight for every jump, for every element. That’s when the athlete fights and goes,” Tataurov told RT.
