Analyzing the findings in these days, the outburst of Ethers Tutberdize & egrave; remained an isolated event that, at least among the experts, has not generated proselytes. In any case, the leaders of the federation have made common, illustrating again the mechanisms that lead to making the final decision.
The vice-president Alexander Lakernik reiterated the rationale for the selection principle: & ldquo; The federation has always assigned l & rsquo; last place available by going beyond the simple result of the national championships. With a different system, would be precluded a priori the possibility & agrave; to compete in Olympic champions as Volosozhar / Trankov and Adelina Sotnikova. It would be a wrong principle and we do not want to be aligned with what happens in other countries & rdquo ;.
Lakernik has also made an interesting passage about the upcoming national championships: & ldquo; For us, it will not be & agrave; only important that athletes pattinino at best, but also that the judges evaluate every aspect properly. We will be vigilant about what will happen & agrave; & rdquo ;.
President Alexander Gorshkov has, however, when specified will be announced the names of the athletes that will take part at the European Championships: & ldquo; Sunday, December 28 will come & agrave; released a provisional list, but the final decision will come & agrave; communicated in half & agrave; January, I assume around 16. Every decision of the Technical Commission will come & agrave; carried out according to the level that athletes can express at the Europeans. The technical committee includes the best coaches in the country and & egrave; was partially magazine than in the past & rdquo ;.
In today's debate, intervened lent the federation two prominent coaches and from & rsquo; palmares important.
Tamara Mosvkina, a kind of living monument at home, you & egrave; sided openly in favor of & rsquo; hypothetical presence of Sotnikova in the European Championships, "Everything will depend & agrave; the state of form of Adelina, but the choice to include it among the participants at the European Championships & egrave; correct. The Russian Federation must ensure that there is a place available for her in virt & ugrave; of what was done in the Olympic Games. "
Along the same lines also Nina Mozer who addressed words of fire to Tutberidze Ethers: "E '' useless comment a situation where un''allenatrice is trying to create unnecessary conflicts showing weakness and incompetence. I do not know what will happen & agrave; and I do not interested in taking part in petty disputes. These situations give me huge hassle. The 'only thing to do & egrave; get on track and give a demonstration of what it is worth. If Lipnitskaia had been able to win the Olympics, he would place the problem. However, if & egrave; cos & Igrave; strong, prove they can win the national championships. "
Actually & agrave ;, the speech appears much more & ugrave; complicated and goes well we select the dynamics of the women. Given that Volosozhar / Trankov, unless miracles, fail to be the game of Stockholm and probably between pairs of art will be held & agrave; into account the outcome of the national championships, the situation is explosive even in the dance. Alexander Zhulin, coach Borbova / Soloviev, illustrious absent in Sochi, has, in fact, taken for granted the participation of its students in Europeans stating how the work is set right on the race in Stockholm.
On the sidelines, the director general of the federation Alexander Kogan announced that the pair of art composed of Maria Vigalova and Egor Zakroev not will participate & agrave; Nationals of Sochi because of physical problems Zakroev.
