Junior World Championship figure skating In Sofia will be considered one of the historical events in this sport. For girls now becomes the norm to perform quadruple jumps, for which only men were capable of. And the first to a new level of figure skating was able to reach Russian Alexander Troopsov.
Strictly speaking, women's fourth jumps and earlier became the secret weapon of individual athletes. So, the Frenchwoman Suria Bonali was trying to fulfill jumps with four turns, but officially no one was counted. The breakthrough made Japanese Miki Ando in 2002, however, new ultra-empty elements were not included in fashion: competition was not yet so high to risk for no reason.
A new trend was asked Trusov this season. At first she tried to fulfill the Quad Salkhov in the final of the Junior Grand Prix, but he had fallen off and fell. The same thing happened at the Russian Championships among girls. But the student Eteri Tutberidze did not surrender and in the Russian Cup final, held simultaneously with the Olympiad, not only made Salkhov, but also tried to fulfill Four Tulup. In Sofia, a 13-year-old athlete went with the intention to complete the started and show both jump in an arbitrary program.
With its task, Coward coped. In an arbitrary program (in a short even figure junior, it is impossible to go on fourth jumps) The Russian woman purely fulfilled Salkhov, receiving an increase for it in two points. Following the figure skater went to Tulup and landed not too beautiful, but this jump also went to plus - it was the first case in history, when the girl performed the fourth Tulup on competitions. And after all, not only by this Trusov struck judges: in the second half of the program she had a cascade of Lutz - Rittberger, which is the hallmark of Alina Zagitova, and flip - Tulup.
The Olympic champion is now deprived of all of its global records in junior skating. In a short box office, Trusov bypassed a girlfriend in the training group for a long time ago, and now she added 15 points to last year's achievement of the grant in an arbitrary program and 17 to the total assessment. Trusov won the Junior World Cup with a result of 225.52 points - she would have claimed the medals at the Olympics in Phenchhan, since there would be such strict restrictions on the number of jumps, which is the junios. True, it will not work for an adult level in the adult level. It will reach the need for this age only to the European Championship 2020.
Second place after the coward in Sofia was taken by Alyona Korsna. While everyone is discussing the rivalry Evgenia Medvedev and Alina Zagitova, these two juniors have long struggled with each other both inside the Tutberidze group and abroad. Costorna does not fulfill the quadruple jumps, but everything that can, shows in the second half of the programs. The most complex element is the Cascade Flip - Tulup, it receives even higher grades than Coward.
Another Russian athlete Stanislav Konstantinova received fame during the last adult championship of Russia. Then she became the third in an arbitrary program and fourth on the results of two rolling. In Sofia, 17-year-old St. Petersburg focused on its capabilities and also remained in a step from the podium of the honorable.
Men
The phenomenon Eteri Tutberidze spreads not only for girls. She trained and continues to train and men, too, but almost no one sought serious success under her leadership. Alexey Yerokhov became the first. This season, he immediately established himself as one of the best juniors thanks to two victories at the Grand Prix stages. Confirm status on final tournament It did not work out due to injury, but the 18-year-old Muscovite recovered to the championship of the planet in Sofia.
Erokhov includes three quadruple jumps in its arbitrary program: first Tulup in Cascade and Salkhov, and then Solo Tulup in the second half. At the World Championships, the whole plan failed to fulfill, the judges started just a cascade. But a worthy fulfillment of all other jumps was enough to become the first for 16 years by the Russian figure skater, winning gold.
True, it must be remembered that shortly before an arbitrary program starred the main favorite of the tournament Alexey Drugson, representing the United States. Erokhov can compete with him only when the Quarter Rittberger and Flip, which in training he already does to the end. The Russian scored 231.52 points in Sofia - for the junior level of this is still a little. A year ago, the participant of the Olympiad in Phenchhan Dmitry Aliyev won silver with a rating of 247.31 points.
The second place in Sofia took another Russian Arthur Danielyan. In his speech, it is possible to note the rare and quite valuable cascade of Triple Axel - Rittberger - Triple Salkhov. Four jumps of Danielyan do not fulfill, but at the age of 14, it is quite acceptable. Already he managed to bypass Matteo Rizzo, who has experience performing on the latter Olympic Gamesoh.
Couples and dancing
In the world of figure skating, the results of juniors and juniors have a definite value: the transition to an adult is usually does not make himself wait, and many of the current stars made their name even in a very young time. With pair skating and dancing on ice, everything is somewhat more complicated. Very rarely representatives of these two disciplines are not that show the results commensurate with junior, but also remain together at the new stage of the sports career.
Nevertheless, it is also worth noting the successes of Russian skaters. For the first time since 1986, representatives of one country took the entire pedestal of honorable in the competitions of sports couples. Champions were Daria Pavlyuchenko and Denis Hodikin, who can highlight the three-level triple twist and support of the level of adult riding.
Polina Kostyukovich and Dmitry Yalin occupied the second place, who had a four-year twist and cascade of Triple Salkhov - Rittberger - Triple Salkhov. True, a couple from St. Petersburg made a lot of mistakes and barely pulled silver from Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Galyamov - two Russian duets divided only 0.75 points.
Gold in ice dancing also went to Russia, which allowed to repeat the absolute record of 1996, when all the highest sample medals got Russian figure skaters. Anastasia Skoptsov and Kirill Alyoshin, who previously won the Junior Grand Prix Finals, and in 2016, became winners of the Junior Olympiad in the team tournament in the team tournament. Bronze in Sofia won Arina Ushakov and Maxim Nekrasov.
The World Championships season in figure skating did not end. Many stars after the competition in Boston went along the way on the West, in the town of Spokan in Washington, to take part in the first team Cup of the challenge - a new tournament included in the international calendar.
Figure skating is a purely personal sport, but there are at least a team competition in it. From 2009 to odd years, the World Cup is organized among six leading countries. At the Olympics in Sochi, the awards among the prefabricated prefabricants were first played.
And now there is a team challenge cup, where the skaters are fighting for countries, but for continents. Remotely it reminds the continental cup by athletics, Guests every four years - there are also athletes for a while they are united to stand together for their part of the world. True, this tournament is serious, it is rather a bait for fans who like unusual formats.
The same atmosphere of entertainment accompanied the Command Cup Cup. To take at least the composition of the participants - for one single room from each continent, the fans choose online voting. Elena Radionova, Elena Radionov, and, however, had to give way from Otita to the tournament. And the captains of the team were appointed the legends of the past - Sizhuka Arakawa, Christopher Dean and Christie Yamaguchi.
As it is easy to guess the names of the captains, Asia, Europe and America team participated in competitions. Each national team was represented by three men, three girls, two pairs and two duets. The tournament shared into two parts - first the singles held separate competitions, and then representatives of all four disciplines were united to fight in the overall standings.
The composition of rivals was solid, but not frightening. We were absent, Yudzuru Khani, Gabriela Papadakis and, Maya and Alex Chibutani, and Bruno Majm, Sui Wanjin and Hai Tsung - But all of them are the winners of the recent World Cup.
In the first part of the Tournament, the singles showed only short programs. All participants were divided into six group of three athletes. The winner of each of them put in a piggy bank of 12 points, the next figure skater could bring 10 points, and the last one - eight.
Medvedev became the only European winner of this aperitif. The current world champion scored 77.56 points, barely overtaking Satoko Miyahar and Gray Gold, which also exceeded an outstanding 70-point border. In addition to 12 points for Europe, Medvedev received an additional money prize - $ 5,000.
Radionov did not cope with his program - on the first triple Lutz did not get a departure, after which an athlete with flaws performed other jumps - fell on Triple Tulup and performed Axel to one turn.
Sergey Voronov and Mikhail Kolyada also did not shine in their trio and gave way to rivals from Asia and America. The only athlete, who broke up a hundred, became the Japanese Somka Uno - his result was not enough of five points to the world record Hani.
Among the lonelles, the team of Asia with 64 points became the best. America gave two points. Europe became the third, in its composition only Medvedev and Italian Robert Rogegiero were not the last in their groups.
The next day, couples and duets connected to the competition. The best continent was now determined by points scored in arbitrary rentals. In the offset, there were two results of solids and one pairs and duets.
Medvedev again struck the modest Spokan. To excellent points for the technique (no judge put minus!) Incredible estimates for the components were added - only three were less than nine. It all happened in 151.55 points, which is one and a half points more of her own world record!
"Medvedev is a wonderful, talented girl, her professional work is visible," the famous coach told R-Sport. - Of course, this result will create a certain bore for the future. Talent and work gave a chic result.
There are athletes who simply won, and there are those who win and move sports forward. I think that it is such performances that Medvedeva were in this season, and move sports forward. "
133.31 points added Radionov - from the very beginning she had a cascade of Triple Lutz and Triple Toulup, but Triple Rittberger went into minus, and many other elements were not evaluated high. Elena became the sixth among the singles.
Unwanted in an arbitrary program, ahead of Americans and. The fourth became a carriage, who was not confused after the fourth Toulup, and scored a lot of points at the expense of jumping easier. In addition, the judges appreciated the components rather well - in the amount of the Kolyada scored 165.48 points.
Voronov became the penultimate, collecting modest 132.79 points. Its result in the final test did not enter. But Pilov and Klimov had a team assistance to the team - their result in 130.46 points became the second. Russians have lost only world champions from Canada and Eric Radford.
In sum, European skaters showed the second result - 848.06 points. The first were Americans (892.42), and Asians turned out to be the last (820.22) due to the weak composition of pairs and duets.

- Zhenya, when behind the shoulders such a rich season, when the final of the Grand Prix, Championships of Europe and the world won, and even with the world record, how difficult it was to tune in to the last jerk?
- Any tournament is important for me. I have not had such experience - work in a team. We and I coach, Eter Tutberidze, have long known about the World Cup, but they were not fully confident that we would participate in it. Initially, Liza Tuktamysheva was to ride in Spokan, but she was prevented by injury. Of course, I already felt fatigue, and the goal was, what is called, reaching. But, on the other hand, I wonder something new, it always spurs. Objectives We still put the maximum coach: nothing to facilitate anything, swinging programs with all the elements, fight for the team.
- Hold the bar high throughout the season is difficult not only physically, but also psychologically ...
- I repeat, I used to set the maximum tasks. I am often asked now: "Zhenya, this season you got everything. And you are not afraid that in the next act so good will not succeed? " Of course, everyone has ups and failures. But why should I think about it in advance? I'm not afraid of my work, I love her! I think that the next year will be very interesting!
- After the World Cup you with a bronze prize-winner Anna Pogrilly literally pumped into parts of all television and radio channels. Did not expect, probably, such an excitement?
- No. Although after Julia Lipnitskaya spoke at the Olympics in Sochi, we saw how many journalists came to our rink, trying to make an interview with her. And I think, then, probably, any of us thought that he could also be in a similar situation if she succeeds. But still there were games ... Is it like me? No, I am a sociable person by nature, even interesting.
- Well, it seems that they are tired ...
- Yes there is a bit (smiles). Just the day is still today - cloudy, I really want to sleep. And I love the sun more.
- When we talked to the previous time, you said that in no way let yourself succumb to the mood. Like, if you went to the ice, it should work.
- It's true. For me, it is very important to overcome yourself. Sometimes the coach has to give me a feeling, but basically I try to cope with my emotions herself. I am a very hot man, my mood is often changing, so there is something to work on.
- Walking hard when something does not work in training? Some here cry, other ice skates kick ...
- I never touch the ice. Wheel with all the power of the tooth - there will be a hole. Then you can get into this pit and suffer. What for? I'm just leaving the site and sit for some time looking at one point. It is best soothing.
- In life, hold the same principle: no one knows about my bad mood?
- I try. I can not, for example, do not chat with fans, even if not in the mood or very tired. Before the start, it's better not to approach me, I immerse yourself, I do not see anything, I can't hear anyone. But after the competition, I distribute autographs, we take pictures with everyone. And the press is calm. Journalists are also working. And I can't interfere with people to fulfill their duties. It's like going to go on ice now, and I will start talking to other skaters: Zhenya, go away from here, what are you riding here, you will be bothering us ... I do not know if I said right, but I understand that this way.
- A year ago, you won the Junior World Cup. There is no feeling that many still apply to you, how to child?
- No. Everyone who knows me is communicating with me with a fairly adult man.
- They say you even took part in a straight line with the president. It's true?
"Yes, sat in the first row, he listened carefully. Sport sports, but here there are so many different topics and problems were discussed that according to anyone I got a very useful experience.
- How is the preparation for the exams for the ninth grade? Or all already behind, passed the external?
- No, exams ahead, in early May. How can I have time, it is not clear! But I will try. There will be no concern.
- Interesting, and the attitude of the coach has not changed after all success? Maybe it became more demanding or vice versa?
- From Eteri Georgievna, I do not feel any changes. But herself began to treat her with even greater respect. Because not be her, there would be all the fact that I now have. And most of all in your coach, I appreciate and love the purposefulness and desire to help.
- Tutberidze itself argues that your distinctive feature is hardworking. And these quality you differed from others in childhood. "I do not remember that Zhenya is at least a minute just stood on the ice. She was constantly in motion, she did not need to give her tasks "...
- Well, here I am (smiles). When now small girls are asked: how did you achieve such results? I answer them: work! Even when something does not work and do not want anything, you need to take yourself in hand. Remember that there are many people - relatives, friends who want to help. They believe in you, they hope you, so you need to work at least for them.
- Despite all the achievements, there is an understanding where to move next season?
- In fact, I have many more places requiring strengthening. I would like to add in the rotations and in the choreography, in the transmission of the image on the ice. There are enough moments here, which myself straight eyes cut.
- While all your programs have been withstanding in lyrical style. No desire to try yourself in new images?
"I think that I don't need to be afraid of experiments." For example, I love Spain very much, was there many times there. When I hear the Spanish music, this rhythm, I repeated straight. I think that I could have rolled out such a program. But here I completely trust the coach until we have not discussed this question. It often happens like this: it seems that the program suits you, you feel it, but she does not go and all. Or vice versa. At the beginning of the season, we, for example, thought that my current arbitrary is some risk. No one used to use such an image in women's single skating. But it turned out!
- This season all goals that have been planned are achieved?
- Yes, the season succeeded.
- If you call it in one word, how did he come to personally for you? Many call it fantastic, crazy ...
- productive. Crazy I would not definitely call him. Rather, calm. I did not promise anything to anyone, did not say that, they say, now I will come out and will be a victory for the victory. We worked with the coach, did not hurry anywhere, did not twitch. Training - Competitions, Training - Competitions. Very calmly.
- Rest already decided?
- I love to rest in Asia. Already was in Thailand, Korea, Japan. And now I will go to Vietnam.
