Anna Serbakova won the Turin race in the third stage of the Grand Prix, the first time she has completed four jumps in the competition this season. Anatoly Samogvalov noted that Anna had the same high profile of confidence as world champion Alexandra Trusova, which inspired her to win.
Sherbakova circled the ice as a true short track speed skater. On other occasions, it sounds derogatory to the athletes, but during Saturday morning training, she tried to accelerate in this way to keep the line on the outer rim and complete the long-awaited quadruple jump. But opponents glide so casually on the ice that the slightest distraction can trip up the world champion. When she was at her best, the opponents didn't disturb her, but at the Italian Grand Prix she recovered from a series of recovery trainings from various ailments.
"In the training at Crystal City, I skated a set of moves with quadruple flips, but after arriving here, I was extremely energetic in training, the inner jump was almost no mistakes, the hook jump was good, and I wanted to complete more quadruple jumps," - I was not satisfied with the skating set of moves only one hook jump, but the coaching staff discouraged us, saying that we should first complete a good hook jump, complete the action with confidence, and then continue to the next step. ”
Anna Shcherbakova won the third stage of the Grand Prix in Turin, performing a quadruple jump in the program for the first time in the season. Anatoly Samokhvalov noticed the rhetoric of Alexandra Trusova from the world champion, which inspires victories. Shcherbakova wound circles on the ice like a refueling short track speed skater. Otherwise, it would have sounded like an insult, but on Saturday morning in training, she tried to accelerate in this way to maintain the line on the outer rib and perform the long-awaited quadruple lutz. But the rivals slid across the ice so randomly that the slightest interference knocked down the world champion. When she is in better shape, then they would not be able to embarrass her, but at the Italian Grand Prix she has just returned to normal after a series of recoveries from various sores. "In training at Crystal, I rolled the program with a quadruple flip, but after coming here I had such a rush in training, the flip turned out almost without errors, lutz was also not bad, I wanted more quads - I still am not satisfied with the ride with one flip, but the coaches dissuaded me, said that you need to first show a good flip, reliable skating and then move forward."
