Coach Khromin believes that for figure skater Ugozhaev, a quadruple jump is not prohibitively difficult

Dmitry Khromin, coach of a Russian figure skater Nikolai Ugojaev said the quadruple jump is not prohibitively difficult for his student.

In early October, Ugozhaev became the laureate of the Panin-Kolomenkin memorial in St. Petersburg. The figure skater scored 303.45 points in total from two programs.

— Rafael Harutyunyan said, commenting on Nathan Chen’s failure at the 2018 Games, that flip and lutz generally go very poorly together in the short program.

— For Ugozhaev, the quadruple jump is not prohibitively difficult. As a result, the same flip does not consume too much energy. If we’re talking about Chen, maybe the coach was referring to the rib problem. Whether you remove ice correctly or incorrectly. When you do a Salchow or a loop, there is no risk of getting a minus for an unclear edge – you go to the jump with a fairly high guarantee that everything will be fine, ”quotes RT Khromin.

At the Pyeongchang Olympics, Nathan Chen won the free program, but failed in the short program, failing to medal. He made history as the first solo skater in the world to perform six jumps in four rotations in a single performance.
