2002 Olympic Games silver medalist, world and European champion in ice dancing Ilya Averbukh in a conversation with Sport24, he shared his opinion on the progress of Russian skaters.
– I see how the guys added. And they added, first of all, current figure skaters – in terms of artistic talent, presentation of themselves, working with the audience. It is also a very useful experience for the guys. Zhenya Tarasova, Volodya Morozov – I think they have matured well in the series. Of course, they are great champions, but the tour in Sochi brought them a lot.
Anya Shcherbakova is floating above the ice, and I can see how comfortable she is in the team and how happy she is to be here. She works – in each program she performs several triple jumps, that is, she does not give herself concessions. Big smart. Sasha Stepanova and Vanya Bukin are a great couple, especially the second number we did together, play straight, and the guys are maintaining an acting break. In short, really great.
Mark Kondratyuk soared above the ice and always included quadruple jumps in the program – just like Dima Aliyev, who has now joined our show. I also want to thank the professionals (this is what retired skaters are usually called. – Sport24), especially since the formation is really absolutely champion: Zhenya Medvedeva and Lesha Yagudin, Tanya Totmyanina, Roma Kostomarov, Oksana Domnina, Maxim Shabalin. In general, there is a golden galaxy, – said Averbukh.
