Valieva lost its axis of rotation, and it was impossible to save such a jump. Recall that at the Russian Championship in December, Camila was also unsuccessful. She made a “butterfly” and scored zero points for this item.
However, the athlete pointed out that failure is not a reason to stop trying.
– It would be strange if he didn’t make jumps that didn’t work. Then it would be necessary to give up both the triple lutz and the quadruple sheepskin coat,” Valieva told reporters. – This is not the Olympic Games, but national competitions. Good exercise. Therefore, for the Grand Prix Finals, I had a goal to try. In the last competition, I made a “butterfly”. Now, according to my feelings, I turned the jump, but I flew out of the circle.
According to the results of the short program, Valieva closes the top three, behind Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Adelia Petrosyan. Both skaters cleanly performed the Axel in 3.5 spins.
