RUSSIAN CHAMPIONSHIP THE GIRLS' CONCERN December 16, 1997 The Russian Figure Skating Championships were held at the Sokolniki Sports Palace in Moscow. It was a very important tournament—a qualifying event for the European Championships in Milan (January 11–18, 1998). The Winter Games in Nagano were also, of course, in the crosshairs. The final Winter Games roster will be announced after the Milan competition. Meanwhile, off to Sokolniki. The singles competition proved the most intriguing and unpredictable. The juniors, Viktoria Volchkova and Yulia Soldatova from the Moscow region, who train with Viktor and Marina Kudryavtsev, respectively, were the ones who stirred up the unrest. The girls flew in from Canada early last week after the World Junior Championships, where Yulia won gold and Vika bronze. But it seemed they weren't experiencing the acclimatization period. Volchkova was leading after the short program, Soldatova was second. True, Viktoria made a number of mistakes in her free skate; she skated with difficulty—she's not quite up to the level of senior skating yet. Ultimately, she dropped to fifth place. Yulia attempted her signature triple salchow-toe loop combination, but unfortunately, she missed the first jump. Later, she missed a triple lutz in a different combination. But she demonstrated a very confident skate. But two-time European champion Irina Slutskaya, a student of Zhanna Gromova, can't seem to get into shape. She skated flawlessly at two stages of the Champions Series, and disappointed her fans in Moscow as well. She struggled with her flip and lutz. Her fourth-place finish has put her participation in the European Championships in doubt. However, Slutskaya's qualification for Italy continues. The finals, which will take place December 18-21 in Munich, will decide everything. She will compete for a spot on the national team against another Kudryavtseva student, Elena Sokolova, who finished third in Sokolniki.' Maria Butyrskaya, who left Viktor Kudryavtsev for Elena Tchaikovskaya a year ago, became national champion for the fifth time. Incidentally, Masha also had some minor flaws in her skate. But she did better than everyone else. "To be honest, I performed at half-capability. I decided to save my energy for the European Championships and the Winter Games. But I won't hide the fact that the young girls gave Slutskaya and me a real shake-up. They were like, "Get out of the way!"". -------------------- #figureskating #フィギュアスケート #eiskunstlauf #фигурноекатание #pattinaggioartistico #patinageartistique
