At the start of the ice season, another student of Eteri Tutberidze works wonders during the junior competitions.
12-year-old Muscovite Sof'ya Akat'yeva, a pupil of Khrustalniy, performed two triple axels in her free program during the championship of the capital, as well as cascades of triple Lutz / triple Toeloop and triple Toeloop / triple Salchow, triple Rittberger and triple Flip.
With this miracle program, 12 year old Sof'ya won first place in the overall standings of the singles competitions.
As you can see in the video, Akat'eva performed all her jumps after a serious break at the very beginning of her skate. The girl intended to fulfil her crown cascade of the quadruple + triple Toeloop, which she had learned by the age of 11, but she tore out of her quad. The fall did not stop her in the rest of the routine, moreover, Sonya masterfully rebuilt the program right on the go, which led to the “Axel Feast”.
Triksel is considered the trademark of Lisa Tuktamysheva - the world champion learned this element throughout the entire conscious part of her career and very often frustrated herself. Of course, Elizabeth’s performance is considered to be unprecedentedly confident, she takes off to a tremendous height, but she the Triksel has given her great difficulty.
And now the children do two triple Axels in one program! Pupils of Eteri Tutberidze brought figure skating to a completely different level - so this is also a step forward for the school. Until now, the students of Tutberidze just had no triple Axel.
As for the two Trikels in one program, here you can only recall the Japanese Grand Prix champion Riku Kihira, who performed a doublet at the home NHK Trophy-2018 (Japanese Grand Prix).
Sof'ya Akat'yeva is well known to the mass audience for her performances in the project “Ice Age. Children" Only in our time, skaters manage to combine amateur and show career at the age of 11!
Akat'yeva appeared on television in the team of Roman Kostomarov in a variety of ways. For example, she was the heroine of The Matrix and repeated on ice the legendary stunt choreography from the film:
This is ... unbelievable
By the way, during the championship of Moscow Akat'yeva made the most powerful comeback in the whole tournament. After the short program, she was only in fifth - it is extremely rare to take off from this position to reach first place.
