Tutberidze about Mozalev: he performed the maximum program at the Russian Championships
Coach Eteri Tutberidze commented on the sixth place of figure skater Andrei Mozalev at the Russian Championships.
- Andrei Mozalev took a small bronze after the short program and entered the national team. Can we say that some kind of crisis has passed in Andrei?
- Was he in a crisis?
- From the outside, perhaps, that's the impression I got.
- Well, Andrei Mozalev seems to be, I really hope, getting a little bit stronger both morally and physically. For now, I still have the absolute feeling that he doesn't finish his free skating program. He lacks physics.
For himself, probably, he has completed the maximum program, because so far with such content to count on the podium - well, then you need to at least spin like Jason Brown.
- You probably answered the question of what exactly Andrei can win with, given the increased level of men's singles in Russia.
- In fact, Andrei has a “celebratory” jump - the quadruple flip. And I would like him to realize that he needs to work on it, so that it would no longer be a “celebratory” jump, but to be inserted into the program.
Yes, it will be physically and psychologically more difficult. But I want him, like Boikova and Kozlovsky, to develop his content. Еspecially since there is a place to move," Tutberidze said in an interview with Okko.
