-Do you have a lot of promising guys in Plushenko's Angels?
- appear. I think so.
- What can Artem Kovalev, who spoke at the junior Grand Prix stages?
- I think that much. If he takes hold of his head and thinks carefully. He is fifteen years old, he is growing up, his coordination is changing, and it is hard for him. But the fact that he is not "freebie" is great.
- From the side he is a classic representative of male figure skating.
- He has very good, beautiful and even triple jumps, but for the quadruple he still lacks physical strength. A year or two and ...
- ... jumps?
- And where will he go!
- Do you calculate the mechanics of the jump?
- Of course! If you stick to the base, then everything is real. But, first, a person must be taught to ride. When you go to the triple, the main thing - do not drive. I know coaches who have a special program: tomorrow's competition, you need to prepare some rittberger from your nose to win the pumping championship. Yes, no one needs it! Don't do that. Because on the fingers to count those skaters who won tournaments on a special program and then progressed further. Although for many coaches, a special program is everything. It is necessary to go systematically to the development of jumps, without breaking the child. There is a good double, there will be a good triple. After the triple there will be a quadruple, if, of course, the person is physically capable of them, since not everyone is given this.

I know I have a higher tolerance level for medleys/songs stuck together than most people - unless I hate the music involved, I tend to get used to them quite quickly. For example, I quite adore his free.

And yes, I too thought his legs looked longer.
