Russian Champion Yevgeny Semenenko showed character during the fourth stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow, but he still has reservations to further improve his skating and results, the skater’s coach told Tatiana Michina .
On Sunday, Semenenko won the Grand Prix stage in Moscow, scoring 301.60 points in the total of two programs. Grigory Fedorov won silver (301.04), bronze – Mark Kondratyuk (289.11).
– We are not satisfied with everything, Zhenya did not achieve everything. The flip-rittberger combination had already been developed. This year, new difficult jumps have been added. Especially the loop, of course… It didn’t work. And so, Zhenya is a great fighter. He fought until the end. There was also a mistake on the quadruple sheepskin coat. So we have to work a little harder and improve. But we are still happy.
Men have such a struggle now that you never know how things might end. The level of men’s skating is very high. And when you skate last, it becomes even more difficult. Yes, you know how the opponents behaved, but you see that they have good results. Zhenya showed character, but there is still room for improvement. We will have to put everything in place for the Russian Championship. This time, the gap is very small, but there is only one first place. So gold makes me happy,” Mishina told .
