Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova told that Russian figure skater Evgeny Semenenko cannot be compared with American Ilya Malinin, because they do not compete.
Semenenko scored 108.29 points for her short program Friday at the Panin-Kolomenkin Memorial in St. Petersburg. In September, Malinin received 107.25 points at the Lombardia Trophy tournament in Bergamo (Italy).
— A very good result for Semenenko, he is really great. I congratulate him and Alexey Nikolaevich Mishin on such a worthy performance.
— A few weeks ago, Malinin scored 107.25 points for the short program. Can Semenenko, although in absentia, compete with him? Or is Ilya’s level unattainable?
– I don’t want to compare them now. When they face each other, we will see,” Tarasova told .
