Bronze Medal Maxim Kovtun, despite the fall over any program in the tournament men’s European Championships in figure skating. We dance duets was the first part of the competition.
Florent Amodio and Nikolai Morozov – ideally suited to each other athlete and coach. Small tears and kisses after rolling a Frenchman, a former European champion, a few minutes drowned in tears skater and coach …
The most touching moment of the tournament is made possible by two factors – the Frenchman prelaunch statement that the European Championship he completes a career, and it is a delightful free skate rental. As in Bratislava, Amodio not ride ever! Even in victory for the Swiss themselves ice Bern in 2011 by Florent impression was not so bright!
But life rolled Amodio did not have enough space for the prize, which would be a bold exclamation point before leaving. Pushed him from the podium best European skater Javier Fernandez of today, Israeli Bychenko Alexey and Maxim Kovtun.
While no one seemed to move Max and like so vague to get the first part of his long program. After a terrible fall from a quadruple toe loop thought was that the medal prospects for our men to prevent a large copper basin that these prospects will be covered, but Kovtun suddenly came to life.
Actually Random Maxim dashed off only the sixth result, but small enough margin skater to climb the second consecutive year on the European podium. It was just a situation where “the result is.” The best Russian in arbitrary become Mikhail Kolyada. Small bronze – a great outcome for the debut.
Fernandez Fernandez … what? Javier showed that Europe’s competitors are able to gain 200 points in the program, and also to the fall. Old World still compete with Asians. Well, or students Orser pokonkuriruyut together.
Alex Bychenko immediately after the show said in a television interview that his goal for this championship was a step forward compared to last year. Given that the Stockholm-2015 Israel ranked fourth skater, words seemed bravado. However, Alex knew he says. For the first time since the Euro Medal, the Silver skater representing the Promised Land.
As to this, it successfully performed the two young skaters. And Kolyada and Alexander Petrov on the podium could apply only if the fair circumstances. But with Michael, and later with Alexander soon old-skaters have to be considered.
Another thing Kovtun. Rovesnik Kolyada, Maxim for several years is one of the strongest athletes in Europe and the second medal in a row just confirms this thesis. But the stand out from the other five quads in the two programs do not particularly work. This is not unique, although it is a very serious set ambitious targets. And besides, in Bratislava Kovtun, they still did not jump, summed terrible fall from his jacket, followed by a few moments, it seemed that the program he can not finish, but sdyuzhil.
But there are factors that distinguish the Maxima from inexperienced compatriots, and many others. Kovtun, unlike many rivals, is not hiding under the bleachers to the speech, afraid even to look out to the playground.
In contrast, the Russian athlete has admitted that constantly out before the start to the side, see what kind of room where the light is located judge – in general, to understand what’s what. Agree, this approach says about the experience of the skater, his professional approach, that the little things in the sport of high achievements do not happen.
And about the foiled even in the short program axel Maxim said: “When fly down, knowing that you fall, do something already very hard to twist it is impossible. ” In the championship as a whole got out, he took the medal, the next step is to start last stable ride their hard content. Though Amodio to see on the podium would be very nice …
Short Dance will be remembered, if only by the fact that for the first time after a long break caused by trauma partner on the ice in an international tournament came the French – world and European champions Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron.
and conquer room, which even before they enter the ice was ready to fall to the blades of the skates skaters. But rivals for nothing last year to give the champions the lead did not intend. Very decent and inspirational rentals demonstrated the ten best dance duets continent.
In fact, the divide between the best and the rest was outlined very clearly – 60 points. Accumulated – welcome to the European elite, no – go club favorites for medals in a campaign without you. Very easy to navigate. It is encouraging that the strongest group on the basis of short dance away all three Russian pairs, which will compete with the French and Italians Cappellini – Lanotte.
For the most part the arbitrators could not choose from our duets clearly the strongest, leaving the decision until the day of free dance. However, it is worth noting here that: Sinitsin and Victoria Katsalapovym Nikita and Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin updated personal bests in the short dance, and three leaders from almost behind.
Stepanova – Bukin, although the second time already exist at the European Championships and even won last year’s bronze medal, had not yet “zakostenet” as more experienced athletes, not overgrown duty phrases, with which you can fill reports Journalists and at the same time, not to say almost nothing in fact. After his hire responded excitedly.
– After the Russian championship was held for a month, it is a great period of time, we had him greatly alter the free dance – says Bukin.
– And the program should look easily – echoes Stepanova.
– Yes, action added! We hope you will understand what it was – confirms partner.
Do not get, so ask, so someone who is, and Sasha and Vanya be sure to explain even the most slow-witted. By the way, this couple dance happy after his speech watched Rental rivals, not hiding and trying to ignore the event.
These tournaments are still in the joy of these skaters, and if they manage to keep the feeling in the future, career can learn permanent holiday. Almost as perceive even tiny successes of students and coaches Alexander pork with Irina Zhuk, so they shake a leg along the rim during the program, and as the light of joy after the ratings. Place at Stepanova – Bukin until the fifth, but the leaders within reach.
Look rentals rivals and Sinitsin and Katsalapov. “It’s so interesting,” – said partner. And on the issue of preparation for their debut European championship for himself admitted that the best definition of their work was the word “plowed”. The result – on the scoreboard. Personal Death record and the fourth line. So far.
Ekaterina Bobrova serving duo Dmitry Solovyov, called the Bratislava tournament double return, bearing in mind that the two previous European Championship duo missed.
Bobrov – Solovyev until the third. The third level on Twizzle has not allowed a five-time champions Russia to overcome the barrier of 70 points, but the opponents literally step. And the coin is not guaranteed themselves neither the French nor the Italians, nor any of us. All three places on the podium, as the girls, to ensure easy, but there was a chance, and it is gratifying.
