Tarasova believes it is premature to talk about the prospects of Alexander Plushenko

Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova told that Alexander Plushenko too small and it is not yet possible to talk about his sporting prospects.

On Sunday, 11-year-old Plushenko won the competition in the first sports category, which took place in Ivanteevka, Moscow region. He was one of three competitors in his category.

— What can you say about Alexander Plushenko’s victory in the Ivanteevka competition? Can we call him a promising skater?

—What makes you think these young children should be targeted?

— Do you think that at such a young age it is premature to talk about one’s prospects?

– Yes, he is still small. We need to look at what he can do (and not in which competitions he wins), Tarasova told .

Earlier, Alexander Plushenko told hockey player Alexander Ovechkin that he would perform a triple axel this season and begin to study quadruple jumps. Tarasova told that the young skater would not be able to do it because he did not have “basic data”.
