Captains about tactics and difficulties in the distribution of skaters by stages

Anna Shcherbakova: “Tactics, of course, should be present. For me, the draw is one of the unloved parts in the Channel One Cup. You are always very worried, you don’t know what to do. Plus everyone know, you communicate well. All the guys are very cool and strong on ice, so this is always a complex and nervous process. The growing, in fact, did not take much time. Some athletes purposefully prepared certain programs for the tournament, so everything was distributed by itself. ”Alina Zagitova: “We have tactics, we adhere to it. Think less – to do more. It seems to me that the tactics work more or less successfully. We consulted with the team after the draw, they quickly came to a common consensus, which I am very happy about. ”Alexandra Ignatova (Truser): “We have been decided for a long time. As practice shows, tactics do not work. In fact, not that they thought a lot – the guys said that they simply enjoy it and that’s it. In principle, they probably did so. It was difficult to arrange only in relay races, because everyone had to jump somewhere, to show somewhere the maximum. It was quite easy for short and arbitrary programs. On the draw, I chose purposefully – who is short and who is an arbitrary one. I knew who and what would roll. ”Alexander Myuskin, Sport24-Alexandra, are there any thoughts to replace Makar with an arbitrary due to a broken boot?– He knew about this – the boot broke a week before the Channel Cup Cup. He always has such a problem. He used to skate for Edea for two weeks, and the horse broke. Now I switched to Aura and rode for three whole months – unfortunately, the horse has broken unexpectedly and out of the time. It is difficult to get this model of the size that Makar wears. He did not have time to change them to the Cup – they were not in Russia. Makar jumps well in them, just interferes with excitement. Any athlete will confirm: when you know that there is a problem with the props, you always worry more. You can jump on such a skate.– Alexandra, you used to say that there is only the first place for you and no. At the Channel Channel Cup, did you revise the attitude in the same way or somehow?– Here I do not speak, it all depends only on the guys. There are athletes who perform better in team competitions, it was always easier for me to ride only for myself. Here I do not get hung up on anything, I try to help the guys, set a good mood and that’s it. The place does not matter at all.
