Yesterday, November 8, in Shanghai (China), the third stage of ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. In the women's figure skating Russian has won Elizabeth Tuktamysheva Ahead of her compatriot, Olympic champion Julia Lipnitsky. Impressions of the performances of Elizabeth Tuktamysheva special correspondent of the Agency of sport information "All Sport" Catherine Borisenkova shared her coach Alexei Mishin.
- Elizabeth in China was the sixth start of the season after an unsuccessful polutorogodichnogo period after the strain of ligaments of the right foot, after a back injury - said Alexei Mishin. - And I am very glad that she recovers, gets its former shape, because I always believed in it, even in difficult times, when I talked all - throw it, it will not be restored. But I did not refuse Tuktamysheva because it is our first girl after Irina Slutskaya, who began to beat all the best skaters of the world, for breach of our other skaters.
- You are completely satisfied with the performance Tuktamysheva in China?
- She's performed perfectly! The only one triple jump instead made - double, but for obvious reasons. Ice rink in Shanghai was not enough, and fled Lisa a little more. And the rest of her, again, everything was fine. Our programs are built in such a way as not to surprise the judges plenty of stepping, rebuilt, and create an image. And Lisa embodies these images - and in the short program under the "Bolero" and in an arbitrary - "Oriental dance" where dancing with all the joys and sorrows that befall women in the East. We will try to continue to move forward without getting stuck, peak form now or not. Our goal - to all tournaments to be in good physical shape. Elizabeth this season very successful program, it goes on increasing, goes to the fact that the show is not the girl's skating, and adult, female and feminine. Our programs are delivered so that there are alternative programs other skater.
- What needs special attention in further training?
- We will continue to work on all elements of the program. We will be ready, as I have done all my previous champions - Alexei Urmanov, Alexei Yagudin, Evgeni Plushenko.
