Elizabeth Tuktamysheva she won the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Barcelona. Julia Lipnitskaya, ranked second after the short program, unable to cope with family and stayed outside the podium.
Of the four Russian participants of Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final only two managed to skate the long program with no errors . One of them was Elena Radionova brilliantly fulfilled his rent with a complex set of jump elements. This allowed the 15-year-old figure skater, conducting their first full adult season (last winter Lena still had no right by virtue of age to participate in European and world championships), for the first time in his career to get on the podium adult Grand Prix Final.
Anna Pogorilaya dropped from the final jump in the cascade, not to dokrutili as the previous item, as well as referees gave occasion to find fault with the edge of the performance of the flip. In view of the failure in the short program, where a student of Anna Tsareva fell shown in the final Grand Prix of the year gave Anna the opportunity to rise slightly above last year’s sixth place, but no more.
Much more devastating was failure Julia Lipnitskaya, skated their arbitrary two falls, a butterfly on the flip, besides performed, according to the arbitrators, with the wrong rib, without the third stage and Underturned Axel. In the course of the competition skater many times repeated that it is not ready yet to roll out any program as a whole, that it was the time to think: if she does not instilled itself this is not the most productive idea? And it’s not so much in bad physical readiness as a lack of faith in their own strength. Which deal with more and more difficult it is.
– After the short program, you said that giving yourself the right to be wrong. But it is obvious that you are now very upset such performance. And that’s an understatement, – asked Lipnitsky after rolling.
– On error, but not to the same 15!
– What do you think happened?
– Once again otvalyalas. Why, I do not know.
– Not enough physical strength?
– felt no arms or legs, as usual.
– What gave you the final Grand Prix? After all, the pros can be found in any situation.
– No pros here.
– A experience?
– He was already at me in France and China. So this is not an experience.
– What to do?
– I do not know. I just go out on the ice and can not do anything.
– In comparison with the French stage, you make it easier to feel in this final?
– In the short program, yes. In an arbitrary, the feelings, only became worse.
So the third place from the last climbed unsinkable American Ashley Wagner.
predict a similar outcome in the case, if Russian girls will massively mistaken, actually it was pretty easy. In the history of figure skating were many such cases.
And let Technical and shaped the American arsenal is poorer than that of its Russian colleagues, Wagner has an extremely valuable asset to squeeze out of a maximum of at the right time. The only noticeable mistake Ashley in any program became Underturned third jump in the cascade. Expensive under the new rules, but not the most significant blot.
As for the winner, Elizabeth Tuktamysheva in the long program was great and won as categorically as a few hours earlier Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford. Between the first two triumphant day, you can spend and another parallel: Lisa impressive technical arsenal includes performing at the pros triple Lutz – double toe loop – double ritberger, triple lutz and flip, a cascade of three triple toe loop, two double axel, single and cascade as well as rotation and maximum track, the fourth level of complexity.
Before the final Grand Prix of figure skater picked up pretty bad cold, which has a negative impact on its form. However, her skating in short, so in any of the program was to such an extent confident that mention of the disease in other circumstances might seem coquetry. Probably, problems in training just did Lisa even more concentrated, opening additional internal reserves of nature.
Of all the Russian odinochnits it Tuktamysheva after two unsuccessful seasons, problems with weight and missing the Olympic team had to prove more than the rest.
But it seems no less motivated athlete and the coach was Alexei Mishin. After all the stories of Evgeny Plushenko and Gachinsky Arthur, who for several years had fought with him, and then completely went to Moscow in search of solutions to their problems, the patriarch of the Russian figure skating showed the world that still knows how to make the result: fast, tough places ( enough to count how many had Tuktamysheva starts this season), but effectively.
Speech Tuktamysheva in Barcelona was the best illustration of yet another lesson of the Grand Prix Final. No matter how difficult was not for you last season, the new can always find the one who needs to be a success here and now. And who will bite the ground for this, without regard to what’s going on with all the others.
This is the case now in pairs and dance, which is not sparing the stomach fighting immediately for the vacant position of leaders some duets.
Over time, something something like that probably happens in both men and win with falls, despite all the magic of his skating Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu Sochi will become increasingly difficult. As happened in the previous Olympic cycle with Canadian Patrick Chan.
During the final Tuktamysheva asked how, from her point of view, the results are important Grand Prix Final in the light of the upcoming championship of Russia and fight for three places in the team .
– Of course, for the federation important results in international competitions, especially such large. But in Sochi will need to skate clean. If you fall, no one will care, even if you won in Barcelona.
