Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: "I'm glad that I did a triple axel, though flawed, for me it is a big step forward"
November 1, 2015
World champion Russian woman Elizaveta Tuktamysheva won silver at the Canadian Grand Prix. With seventh place after the short program skater managed to climb to the second element of the program is executed in the ultra-si - triple axel. After speaking in an interview with Tatiana Flade Russian has proved to be very sensible and wise.
"Very pleased with the fact that almost purely skated his program - admitted Lisa. - I'm glad that I did a triple axel, though flawed, but for me it is a big step forward. Generally, these events have given me a lot of help. I would even call it progress. I performed a triple axel at the very early training, which have not been made. In the free skate on the ice more easily, it was set up in a state of such peace. The excitement, of course, was present, but it will always be present in any start.
How did you tune into long program after the failure of the short program?
I am basically not a depressed person. Yes, the short program scored very low, and such a ridiculous mistake. But the day is over, we must go further. Each outing is gaining experience. Even yesterday was a bad skate, but it taught me a lot. You just have to be able to turn off and tune in to the next performance.
You will not regret it that a triple axel was not included in the short program?
That's not the point. In this state, Axel go ... But what happened, happened, and I'm glad that there was a good free program.
How did you choose the free program, now just celebrated Halloween?
Stephane Lambiel did the program for me. He suggested the music of "Peer Gynt". More precisely Lambiel offered a musical part of the program, together we found another, and I'm the third. It wanted to make it something with a symphony orchestra. And when I heard, I immediately said that it was the finale of my program.
At this difficult time you walk into the season?
Yes, it is difficult. It is difficult and long. Harder than last year. Maybe because of that yesterday I was not so confident. I hope that gradually come to myself, and such failures do not happen.
What is the reason that this season it is more difficult to start than the last?
Last season I was in very good shape. And remember those feelings. But after the holiday feeling was no longer the same, and I have a long time to find them. The same feeling, which came out at the European championships, world team tournament ... Then my body was in a very comfortable state. And this season I wanted it all back quickly. Just bring your body at the same condition. But it did not work fast and on the move. Well, every year you learn from experience, you realize that not everything will be good, that the reason for the lack of stability is not one thing, but a few circumstances ...
You are very correct and wise reasoning.
You know, all wrong. And yesterday that there were a few examples. Even Olympic champion Yuzuru and Chan could not make all in the program ... Any athlete can break. But these thoughts, and pressure should be a mute, mute and forgotten. Just go on the ice and do.
