The level of Russian men’s figure skating is currently very high, athletes complicate their programs due to intense competition, this opinion was expressed by the coach on Tatiana Michina .
On Sunday, Evgeny Semenenko won the men’s competition at the fourth stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow, scoring 301.60 points in the two-program total. Grigory Fedorov won silver (301.04), Mark Kondratyuk won bronze (289.11).
— Such competition in Russian men’s figure skating moves everyone forward. If everyone jumped mainly at Salchow and Toe Loop, like last year, the situation would be different. And only occasionally did someone do lutzes and flips, and loops even more rarely. Now you won’t have to make do with old stock. It is therefore necessary to complicate the programs. It already turns out that there are no triple jumps, only ultra-s. The competition is always moving [вперед] athletes. You understand that you need to do something bolder. Well, it is important not to forget about programs and other items. The level is very high. This has never happened before,” Mishina told .
