American bloggers Dave Lees and Jonathan Bayer criticized the Russian jumping championship in the new episode of the podcast “The Skating Lesson”. Their words lead the way Sports24.
“If you look at this video from the jumping championship, someone will definitely be happy, but not me. There was something disturbing and not at all impressive. Someone will definitely say: “You would definitely like it if someone from the USA jumped.” No, I don’t agree. I also consider it a warning sign,” Bayer said.
“I thought it was disgusting. Will her (meaning tournament winner Margarita Bazylyuk) bones be able to function later?” – Liz noticed.
The winner of the 2024 Russian jumping championship was Dmitry Kozlovsky’s team, in which Alexandra Boykova, Margarita Bazylyuk, Sofia Muravyova, Maria Gordeeva, Lev Lazarev, Evgeny Semenenko, Ivan Popov, Ekaterina Chikmareva, Matvey Yanchenkov and Dmitry Aliev competed.
The winner of the women’s individual tournament was 12-year-old figure skater Margarita Bazylyuk. The winners among doubles were Elizaveta Osokina and Artem Gritsaenko, and among men, Arseny Fedotov.
Bazylyuk jumped two quadruple Salchows by jumping off a greaser. Before this, no women had ever completed two quadruple jumps in a row. However, since the Russian Jumping Championship is an exhibition tournament, the success will not be officially counted.
Previously in the USA statedThat Russia’s return was unprofitable for figure skating.
