If the start
the first day of the European Championship, when
Three Russian girls pushed in
all other short program
participating in the tournament, it was very
positive, the continuation of turned
crumpled. Only Maxim Kovtun,
occupies an intermediate runner
after the Spaniard Javier Fernandez in the competition of men, there is no
claims. Two other Russian
sculler, Mikhail Kolyada and Alexander
Petrov, started the championship very
mediocre.
Transform axel
What
was launched in the second form
Wednesday the European Championship – competition
men’s short program – you can,
of course, be called sad for us
coincidence. Because
things might be different.
Alexander
Petrov could now borrow tenth
place, and, for example, six, had jumped
flip with right rib, tripped
Steps on the track and held on to rotation
to the maximum, the fourth level
difficulties. And also
if Championships
Europe worked the same judge as in
Russian Championship. In Ekaterinburg
Petrov received for the same rental 81.61
points, while in Bratislava five to 77 cents.
Long live the Russian judges, the most
fair judge in the world.
Michael Kolyada
could now be a ninth and confident
third, if not dropped from the quaternary
sheepskin, which still can not acquire
at least relatively stable form, and
another would triple axel, which
Problems like he never existed.
It is clear that the debut at the European Championships
- It is always difficult, but before Michael was like a stress tolerance
sportsman.
Maxim Kovtun
would in any case, as it is now
the second, but if I did not fall from the axel,
he would have scored almost a hundred points. Maximally
I have approached the grandmaster
abroad, subdued in the same day
for the first time in the career of Javier Fernández.
However, to
Kovtun no complaints: he reworks technique
this same axel, which is often not
obtained recently, while
the task to occupy the right place confidence
performs. And quaternary do -
short program at European Championship
Salchow and fulfilled perfect coat.
Performed
even Yorick
But the two
Russian skater other tasks are not
perform. Because European Championships
declared one of the most important launches
even season to him
athlete out on peak form. If
One says that due to poisoning

the start of three days and the second no
It does not say, but in connection with two torn
jump elements and everything is clear
- Something in all this is wrong.
Failure
the same set of circumstances for the Russians
is that almost every
of those who could make them at least
semblance of competition, played on Wednesday
in the short program maximum. Frenchman
Florent Amodio, Belgian Yorick Hendrix,
Italian Ivan Rigina Israelis
Alex and Daniel Samohin Bychenko yes
Even Czech Michal Brezina – it’s not
those people who have to “carry” Kolyada
and Petrov points after the short program.
But they carry. And suddenly
a situation in which the accounts
worry about the possible loss of the third
Rooms in the application for the next championship
Europe. If suddenly the two best Russians
gain on the sum of more than 13 places, it is
happen.
A
still have to worry about that
at the World Cup again, there is a risk
return to a situation where Russia will
represent only one skater.
Because such short Rental
program that
Kolyada that
Petrov in Boston may
did not qualify in
arbitrary. By the way, is
Depending on what will be completed in
Thursday arbitrary program Gorda
Gorshkov, Sergei Voronov and Konstantin
Menchov would be worth to think twice about
full participation in the Cup final
Russia – I think the question whom to send
number two on the world championship together
Kovtun may be
not rhetorical.
***
Not
I want to finish the story of the first
day of the European Championship on a sad
note, so a few words about performance
the man who became his main character.
Javier Fernandez is not just set
personal achievement, typing in a short
program 102 and a half points. He has
and signaled Yuzuru Hanyu – that calm
life he will not. After Xavi seriously
I was mistaken for one of the two quads
hops that in cascade. Without this
Error estimate Fernandez would tangibly
close to the record scores Japanese. But also
so impressive.
The only
not impressed – this is what the Spaniard
I spoke to actually empty
tribunes. The dynamics of filling the hall on
Ondrej Nepela arena name is not very
clear. On Wednesday, for example, at the first
part of the competition – when riding
girls – stands were filled
decent enough. But in the speech
guys fans from Bratislava reason
I did not go, and in the evening
Fernandez (as well
Kovtun, Kolyada and Petrov) watched from
force fifteen hundred spectators.
European Championship. Bratislava
