Silver medalist of the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Games in figure skating Alexander Enbert, in an interview with socialbites.ca, told who he considers to be the favorites of the Russian jumping championship.
“I probably see Dikidzhi as the favorite in men’s singles, Petrosyan in women’s singles and Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov in doubles,” Enbert said.
The Olympic medalist also shared his opinion that there will be no competition between the three coaching teams – Eteri Tutberidze, Evgeni Plushenko and Alexei Mishin – at the Russian jumping championships this season. Only two teams will now participate in the team tournament, and their captains will be the current skaters – Alexander Gallyamov and Dmitry Kozlovsky.
“These commands are very abstract. These may also be called “Yellow”, “Green” and “Purple” or team A, B and C. Therefore, I think the intensity of passions will remain the same.
New tournaments appear and you have to try different formats. We watched how the teams of Mishin, Plushenko and Tutberidze competed, now let’s try a different format. Maybe the coaches will change. Perhaps a team consisting of Moskvina, Slyusarenko or Moser could emerge. Here it seems to me that the name of the teams is not the most important thing. “We will cheer on the athletes,” Enbert said.
