Skater Tuktamysheva: made with the coach a number of changes in the short program for Euro

MOSCOW, January 27. / Correspondent. Veronica Sovetova TASS /. Russian figure skater Elizabeth Tuktamysheva for the European Championship, which kicks off in Stockholm on January 28 made a number of changes in the short program. About this athlete, who arrived on Monday in Sweden, told Tass.

"To the European Championship with the coach we decided to make a few changes in my short program - said Tuktamysheva. - Their essence - to change places certain elements. For example, we have inserted axel between two rotations."
According to coach athletes Alexei Mishin, it will make the program Tuktamysheva placed under "Bolero" by Ravel, more dynamic.
"The first half of the season has stood out for Lisa intense competition, - he said. - Following the stages of the Grand Prix series and the final in Barcelona (which Tuktamysheva won. - TASS) qualifying for the European Championship Cup of Russia. And the amount of competition was justified and developed into quality and results. For the European Championship we were getting ready in Tartu and St. Petersburg. With our choreographer Tatiana Prokofiev for the upcoming launch, we decided to make some adjustments, it will add its performance speakers. They brought light strokes and in any program. The inclusion of triple Axel in Lisa's program has not yet been resolved. keep the intrigue. "

Installation of winning coach athlete will not give. "Ever since Alexis Urmanova installation I always the same: do what you must, and come what may," - said Mishin.
Tuktamysheva your mood before the start called absolutely workers.
 
I wonder... when will they decide on the 3A, do you think? And if they do - will that be included in the planned elements they submit - or is it okay to submit 2A - and then do 3A instead? Just curious.:)
 
I think it's perfectly fine to submit anything and then do something different, as long as that "something different" doesn't turn out to be Zayaking?

If I were Liza/Mishin, assuming the 2A and potential 3A are in the same spot, I'd submit 2A. Why? Because in the men's short, we saw a perfectly good 3S from Florent Amodio receive a few -1s because it was a popped quad. We also saw a slightly shaky but clean 2A from Sergei Voronov receive -1s for being a popped triple.

In theory, the judges should be able to judge a jump on its own merits, regardless of number of revolutions, but it's proven to not be the case. I'd hate to need to bring out the pitchforks when a massive 2A from Liza gets -GOE because the judges got mad at her for not doing a triple.
 
That's a very good point! - also, I'd think there'd be a whole lot less attention and pressure placed on Liza if everyone isn't going: "OMG! She's going for the 3A!" That way if she does it... Great! - and if she doesn't... oh, well, who'll be the wiser? Unless they tell people about it afterwards - and even that would be different as that would be their own choice.

69.02. Second place after the short. A little under 1.5pts behind. Surprisingly TES went down by about 1pt after she finished skating. I hope to see the protocols soon but I suspect that the levels on her spins might have been downgraded. If it was anything else other than her spins, then I'm going to be annoyed. The jumps were great and the step sequence was much improved from before.

She might need a 3A tomorrow.
 
Well done Liza. :agree: You're my No.1 today.
Please keep on showing your stellar performance as well on Saturday!

Yeah, I too suspect some kind of level issue.

If it's not that, then the judges are probably giving Liza a message: Stop doing 3T-3T in the SP. Or the SP loss at Russian Nationals left an impression (though imo, Elena skated her SP better there than she did here).

At GPF, when both went clean, Liza won the LP. But I can't say for sure the same will happen here... (or that even if she wins the LP, she could win overall).

I don't get that message at all, at least looking at protocol. Liza didn't even do her 2A in the second half. She got much better GOE in jumps, partially in the combos. Elena got better GOE in the spins. Both got similar spin and step levels, so it came down to BV in the combo it seems.

Level issue with the final spin. At GPF it was Level 4. Lost about 0.6pts from that. And then the 2A was (by my count) 1-2 seconds away from getting the second half bonus. So there you have the 1pt deduction in TES I was talking about.

Edit:
Oops, beaten to it. But regarding the second half bonus, I'm quite sure Liza/Mishin meant to have the 2A in the second half. Mishin needs to pay more attention to this because both Liza and Sasha Petrov have lost points this season when their jumps were just shy of the second half mark.

It is rather risky for Liza to attempt a 3A at such big event like Euros for the first time, but, since she will skate after Elena in the FS, she may have to try it. Nobody can predict accurately what might happen next.
 
They should've left the layout alone. The axel is certainly (even) better timed to the music now, but COP doesn't care about that...

The jumps deserved straight +3s in my eyes, but the judges wouldn't hand out marks like that, for most skaters.

I agree.

She'll get +2s and above next season if she wins Worlds this year.

3A is risky. But without 3A she'll be leaving it down to PCS (and the judges' discretion), which is just as risky since Elena is the Russian National Champ. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

Edit:
But yeah, her starting order for the LP is advantageous.
