Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA, born in Grazov in Udmurtia almost eighteen springs ago, he trains for years in the Russian metropolis, followed by Alexei Mishin, historical technical among others Evgeni Plushenko.
Serafima Sakhanovich, yet fourteen, & egrave; just born and raised in St. Petersburg, but a few months & egrave; moved with his mother to Moscow to be coached by Tutdberdize ethers, technical strongly increasing in the Russian landscape and the world.
The first linked his name to the & nbsp; Yubileyny renowned skating school in St. Petersburg which mainly refers to the spouses Mishin. The second & egrave ;, instead, a product dell''Academy equally renowned skating school historically in open competition with the Yubileyny.
Let l & rsquo; someone who l & rsquo; another entered by force in the narrow circle of athletes can exceed 190 points in competitions of the first level and Challenger Series but for both the ride does not seem finished yet because the threshold of 200 points & egrave ; well within reach.
TUKTAMYSHEVA took in & rsquo; Last month the shoes of authentic workaholic taking part in three races. In fact, after making the dress rehearsal in the first leg of the pair of Russia, won easily the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf and the Finlandia Trophy in Espoo, becoming the first athlete in history to establish itself in two stages of the new circuit ISU Challenger Series. Wins aside, in the last two outings racing has exceeded 190 points, improving repeatedly personal best and proving to have found that continuity & agrave; return failed in the last two seasons. In truth & agrave ;, Elizaveta would also enrolled at the Coupe de Nice, scheduled in the coming days, but at this point, & egrave; likely that you take a week off before taking flight to the United States, where affronter & agrave; the first round of the Grand Prix circuit. Nell & rsquo; occasion, you will measure & agrave; with the listed compatriot Elena Radionova, fresh from the glories of the Japan Open, and with the American Gracie Gold, gi & agrave; defeat clearly to Oberstdorf. At the margin, it should be remembered that, in virt & ugrave; the scores obtained in the Nebelhorn Trophy and the Finlandia Trophy, you Tutkamysheva & egrave; in fact gi & agrave; set in the first edition of the Challenger Series, putting some money in your pocket that, these days, can not hurt.
Sakhanovich & egrave; was the ruler of the qualifying round of the Junior Grand Prix circuit in which you & egrave; afforded the luxury of breaking the barrier of 190 points, without & ograve; Have your choreographic sequence present in the free program of the senior category. E & rsquo; likely to think that the 191.95 points achieved in Ljubljana can be processed easily over 195 because, in the light of the quality & agrave; the skater, wire stra-deep dell & rsquo; usual search for detail, a choreographic sequence would yield comfortably over the three points. In the coming weeks, & egrave; Serafima likely to make an appearance at some stage of the Cup of Russia in such a manner as to leave no stone unturned to win the final victory Jr.Grand sfuggitale Prix last season. Obviously, the internal circuit, Sakhanovich garegger & agrave; in the senior category by doing the dress rehearsal ahead of the National Championships in late December in the program in Sochi, where he would challenge & agrave; not without ambition various Leonova, Lipnitskaia, Pogorilaya, Radionova, Sotnikova and TUKTAMYSHEVA, in alphabetical order. It goes without s & eacute; that from next season, bisogner & agrave; have to deal with her in the senior competition and, at the thought, not c '& egrave; skater who can sleep peacefully sleep & egrave ;, also because unlike other contemporaries, he gi & agrave; faced and overcome a first insidious phase of physical growth.
Among the skaters who have distinguished themselves in the course of & rsquo; Last month, deserves a mention too Alena Leonova, almost twenty-four in St. Petersburg, forced to confront in the house with a patrol of teen-agers from & rsquo; undisputed talent and dall & rsquo; huge competitiveness & agrave ;. & Nbsp; L & rsquo; student of Evgeni Rukavitsin started the season on the right foot and, during the Nebelhorn Trophy, improved personal best approaching the threshold of 190 points, a guarantee of quality & agrave ;. For Leonova l & rsquo; short-term goal & egrave; win the final of the Grand Prix, & nbsp; but, of course, the ambitions of fellow Lipnitskaia, Pogorilaya, Radionova, Sotnikova and TUKTAMYSHEVA are the same. & Nbsp;
Sorge perci & ograve; a spontaneous question. E & rsquo; really cos & igrave; unlikely that, health permitting, you're Russian athletes reach the final of the Grand Prix in Barcelona? In the coming weeks arriver & agrave; the 'waiting for response.
