Figure skater Lyubov Rubtsova, who took third place at the Junior Grand Prix stage in St. Petersburg, said she was working on studying the quadruple lutz and loop.
Rubtsova became third at the Junior Grand Prix stage in St. Petersburg, scoring 204.24 points. Alena Prineva won (219.02), Sofia Dzepka took silver (211.26).
— I was listening to this tournament to qualify for Russia. I didn’t expect to be in the top 3, it’s good progress for me.
The coach congratulated me, we expect that at the next start it would be advisable to introduce quadruple jumps. I’m working on the lutz and the loop.
– You have changed a lot, you have grown up. How did you adapt to this look?
— It doesn’t really affect the elements. I started jumping with more confidence. There isn’t as much fear as there used to be.
— You have a solid group. Is the competition motivating?
— Competition has a significant impact. When you look at others, they jump ultra-if, quadruple, you want to be better.
— Do you organize battles with ultra-si?
– Sometimes we fix it.
— Your father was on the podium, did he already say something?
— Dad always accompanies me. He is very happy because it was unexpected.
— You had a break due to health reasons. Can we say that these problems are behind us?
“Everything is fine now,” the correspondent reports, according to Rubtsova.
