Averbukh: Shcherbakova and Trusova! Medvedeva doesn't need to learn a quadruple jump

Two-time world champion Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva does not need to learn a quadruple jump because no one jumps among the competitors. Said Ilya Averbukh, the choreographer of the sportswoman.

Earlier on YouTube, videos of a pure performance by Russian figure skaters Anna Shcherbakova (13 years old) and Alexandra Trusova (12 years old) cascading with four-turn in training were published on YouTube. Shcherbakova and Trusova are pupils of coach Eteri Tutberidze, in whose group works and Medvedeva. Girls get the right to perform in adult figure skating from the age of 15. Among the rivals Medvedeva at the moment no one is carrying out a quadruple jump.

"You can look at little girls only now." To make predictions for them is the most ungrateful thing: there are examples of such a million. "She does not need to learn a quadruple." She is in the present tense when there are no quadruples in women's single skating, and Zhenya will not accurately teach him "Maybe in 10 years someone will start jumping in competitions from girls." Such a chase is not exactly necessary, "Averbukh said on the phone.

"We have to add more covenants in slipping, in slimming, in liberation, even more cascades, if the rules allow." There is no limit to perfection: no one will teach quadruples, "added the choreographer of the Russian figure skater.

According to Averbukh, this season it was possible to achieve a "definite breakthrough", and the world championship held in Helsinki can be called "revolutionary." "This season is a certain breakthrough." For example, if we take a single men's skating, there was a breakthrough before the quadruple sheepskin coat first appeared and Alexey Yagudin, Evgeni Plushenko, and Ilya Kulik with him won the Olympics in Nagano: This coat was a stumbling block, it hung over everyone for over 20 years, and this year, when many guys jumped quadruplets, and the program of some skaters reminded that a triple jump was already considered a failure, "Averbukh said.

"I am sure that soon a quadruple jump, and especially in men's single skating, will be taken for granted, this World Cup was the most revolutionary, so it's no surprise that the youth is already starting to jump," the source said.
