Bronze medalist at the 2015 World Championship Elena Radionova said she was impressed with the complexity of the Russian junior team skaters’ programs during the trial skates.
National team girls’ and boys’ skating took place on August 18-19 in Novogorsk, Moscow region.
– What are your general impressions of the test skates?
– We have a very high level of juniors in our country. Today we saw a great abundance of quadruple jumps. When such small athletes perform such difficult jumps, it speaks of a high level of training. Our public is already spoiled with quads, you won’t surprise us with them, but in fact it’s a colossal job. I wonder how such young children make such complex elements,” Radionova told .
– Who did you like the most? Can you highlight someone’s program?
– Probably, I am wrong to single out someone’s productions, because I am the director of Veronika Zhilina. This season, I’m collaborating with her and her trainer Evgeni Plushenko. Put Veronika two programs. I liked Veronika Zhilina, Alisa Dvoeglazova, Sofia Titova, solid juniors.
– This year, figure skaters from the regions participated in the ticketing. This makes me happy?
– Of course, I am happy that figure skating is developing not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also in the regions. Thus, there will be more competition in the competition. In Russia, figure skating is developed at the highest level, and now it will not catch up with us at all. The more children are engaged in figure skating, the more interesting it is for the public to watch the competition.
