The silver medalist of the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Games in figure skating, the winner of Ice Age, Alexander Enbert, in a conversation with socialbites.ca, told how the captains of the team at the Channel One Cup – Alina Zagitova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Anna Shcherbakova – could influence their skaters.
According to Enbert, the real influence on the athletes was in any case not the captains, but the coaches.
“Figure skating remains very much an individual sport. Each athlete prepared for the tournament with his/her coach and team. They adapt with their coaches until the exit.
Probably each of the captains can support the team, create the right atmosphere while everyone is sick and waiting for notes. The captains were all very intelligent and authoritarian.
This was a new experience for Lisa. Alina is already an experienced captain. In principle, Anna also participated in the Channel One Cup. They are very different and the mood of the teams can also be different: It’s more fun, it’s more serious,” Enbert said.
