The main news of figure skating in Russia and the world today, January 25: European Figure Skating Championships 2017 starts in Czech Ostrava
The European Figure Skating Championships will be held in Ostrava, Czech Republic from 25 to 29 January. Russian figure skaters will compete for awards in all four types of the program, and the leader of the world women's skating, Evgenia Medvedeva, will have the task of defending the title of the strongest figure skater in Europe, obtained last year. The composition of the Russian national team for the European Championship was determined based on the results of the national championship, held at the end of December in Chelyabinsk. Russian team at the European Championship will be represented by the maximum possible number of participants, filling in three quotas in each of the disciplines. The winners and silver medalists of the Russian championship received tickets to the European championship automatically, the holders of the third quotas were determined by the coaching council and the executive committee of the Russian Figure Skating Federation. In the women's singles, Russia will be represented by Maria Sotskova and Anna Pogorilaya in addition to Medvedeva, and in the men's by Mikhail Kolyada, Alexander Samarin and Maxim Kovtun. Ksenia Stolbova/Fyodor Klimov, Evgenia Tarasova/Vladimir Morozov and Natalya Zabiyako/Alexander Enbert will perform in pair skating, and Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitry Solovyov, Alexandra Stepanova/Ivan Bukin and Victoria Sinitsina/Nikita Katsalapov will perform in ice dancing. Who will compete with Medvedeva? Medvedeva has won almost every competition in which she took part in the last season and a half. She was second only at the Moscow stage of the Grand Prix last season. In the 2016/17 season, the Russian has already managed to break several world records again, win two Grand Prix stages, and then the second Series Final in a row. At the Russian Championships, Medvedeva was again inaccessible to her competitors and in the free program she even allowed herself to misbehave by jumping a cascade of three triple jumps, the last of which the judges, of course, did not count. "Well, why not jump if I can?" - the Russian woman told reporters after the speech. “I am very happy for Zhenya this season, it was not easy for her and the coach to keep that amazing form that Medvedeva had that year. It was also not easy for me to find colors for her new programs for the second season in a row, but it seems to me that we succeeded First of all, we must talk about Zhenya as a figure skater who is progressing from start to start, ”Ilya Averbukh, Olympic medalist and program director Medvedeva, told R-Sport. At the last two European Championships, Russians have occupied all the steps of the podium, and there is a very good chance that this time the situation will not change. "The European Championship is, of course, a continuation of the Russian Championship," Averbukh stressed. Pogorilaya is bronze medalist World Cup 2016 and this season was the third in the Grand Prix Final. Sotskova spends her first season at the adult level, but has already managed to break into the top six in the Grand Prix Final in Marseille, and then became the bronze medalist of the national championship. Only capable of arguing with the Russians for medals five-time champion Europe Carolina Kostner, who returned to the ice after a long break due to disqualification. The Italian coach is now Alexei Mishin, and the athlete spent several training camps in St. Petersburg. “I don’t think that in the real conditions of the European Championship it will be dangerous for Russian figure skaters,” the specialist said earlier to the R-Sport agency. Russians against the Germans Another type, where the Russians have every chance of winning, is pair skating. Olympic champions Sochi in the team competitions Stolbova and Klimov, who missed the first part of the season due to an injury to their partner, became the winners of the Russian Championship in December, beating the winners of the Grand Prix Final Tarasova and Morozov. Both duets in Ostrava are able to compete for gold, and their main rivals will be the Germans Alena Savchenko and Bruno Massot, silver medalists of the European championship last year. The German duo won two Grand Prix this season, but was forced to withdraw from the Final due to an injury to their partner. To protect the health of Savchenko, who recovered from damage, the duet even went for a slight simplification of the programs. “I think that at the European Championships there will be a very sharp fight for gold between Stolbova / Klimov and the Germans Alena Savchenko / Bruno Massot, - says the honored coach of Russia Viktor Kudryavtsev. - But I am sure that Stolbova and Klimov during the time that has passed since the Russian championship, I really liked their new programs. They differ in construction, content, expressiveness of the drawing and choreography. a big difference between Savchenko / Masso and Stolbova / Klimov in favor of our pair. "Will Fernandez waver? Spaniard Javier Fernandez, winner of four recent championships Europe, this season can not yet boast of stable performances and in the Grand Prix Final in Marseille remained outside the top three, but still is the main favorite in the fight for the fifth European gold for him. Among those who will try to stop him are the Russians Kolyada, Samarin and Kovtun, the Israelis Daniel Samokhin and Alexei Bychenko, and the Czech Michal Brzhezina. Kolyada will go to the second European Championship in his career as a Russian champion. 18-year-old Samarin in Chelyabinsk became the second, the winner of the last two European championships Maxim Kovtun this time was only the third. “Even if Fernandez makes a few mistakes, he has a very big lead over our guys. I think the Spaniard will definitely take gold, because his lead over the rest of his rivals is about the same as that of Zhenya Medvedeva in women's singles or Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Sizeron in ice dancing," says Averbukh. But, according to Kudryavtsev, the Russians are able to compete with the Spaniard. “At the last competitions, including the Grand Prix Final, Fernandez skated unstably, there were a lot of shortcomings in the performance of quadruple jumps. As for the second mark, he, of course, is a cut above our guys. But at the same time, if Kolyada’s performance , Samarin and Kovtun will be stable, then they will compete for medals and, possibly, even for first place," he said. Bobrova and Solovyov will compete with the favorites European and world champions of the last two seasons, the French Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Sizeron lost twice this season - and both times to the Canadians Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir, who decided to resume their careers. Nevertheless, from the European dance duos, the French are still the strongest. The Olympic champions of Sochi in team competitions, the champions of Europe-2013, the Russians Bobrova and Solovyov, will try to impose a fight on them. In December, they became the winners of the national championship for the sixth time, and earlier they stopped a step away from the podium in the Grand Prix Final. “I think that after all, with a clean, unmistakable performance of the French duet, he will win the European Championship, since the gap in past competitions and points between Papadakis / Sizeron and our guys was quite large. But the second place, if again no mistakes are made , will be for Bobrova and Solovyov, who this season are by far the best of the Russian couples and show good performances", - believes Averbukh. Other contenders for medals include Russians Stepanova / Bukin and Sinitsina / Katsalapov, as well as Italians Anna Cappellini / Luca Lanotte. In 2014, the Italian dance duo won the European and World Championships, and the last two seasons have become European Championships second, second only to Papadakis / Sizeron. "Of course, it will not be so easy to win silver - the Italians will also fight for it, but I think the second place should still remain with Bobrova and Solovyov. I think the peak of the Italians has already passed, although this is a very strong duet. I also really like Stepanova / Bukin this season, they will have a big fight with Sinitsina / Katsalapov, as well as the same Italians for third place," Averbukh said.
The European Championship will be the last stage of selection for Russian figure skaters for the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Recall that at the 2018 Olympics, the Russian team will be represented by the maximum quota (three participants / pairs) in women's singles and pairs competitions.
Russia has two quotas in men's single skating and dance competitions.
At the European Championships 2018, three Russians will compete in women's singles - Evgenia Medvedeva, Alina Zagitova and Maria Sotskova.
Zagitova and Sotskova made it to the European Championship based on the results of their performance at the Russian Championship.
Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva missed the national championship on the recommendation of doctors and joined the national team at the European Championship by decision of the coaching council.
Mikhail Kolyada, Alexander Samarin and Dmitry Aliev will perform in the men's singles at the European Championship 2018. It was in this order that the skaters settled on the podium following the results of the Russian Championship. At the same time, none of the skaters at the national championship managed to avoid mistakes in their programs, so it is very difficult to predict the result of their performance at the European championship.
Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov, as well as Natalia Zabiyako and Alexander Enbert will compete in the couples competition in Moscow.
Now the figure skaters are faced with the task of showing stability by proving their right to three Olympic trips at the European Championships.
In ice dancing at the European Championships, Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov, Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin, as well as the newly created duo Tiffany Zagorsky / Jonathan Gureyro, who unexpectedly became the bronze medalist of the Russian championship, will perform at the European Championships.

This is the last big start before Olympic Games, and hence the last opportunity to say to Zhenya Medvedeva, Alina Zagitova and all-all-all: good luck in Pyeongchang!
Can tickets still be bought? How much?
A few days ago, sports officials reported that 70% of the tickets were sold, and they made happy faces. A dubious achievement - a month ago, the Russian Figure Skating Championship was held in St. Petersburg, and there the tickets were swept away clean! But in Moscow, you can get on a cool figure even at the last moment: the cheapest entry costs 200 rubles. However, such bargain prices are only for those who have eagle vision or grandfather's military binoculars. With such tickets, you can come only on Wednesday, when the medals will not be played yet, and take places under the very roof, overlooking the tops of the skaters.
There are already tickets left for Thursday, which cost from 1000 rubles. On Saturday, when the girls will skate, there are only places left in the boxes and they cost from 7,500 rubles. Prepare 5500 for Sunday demonstrations. Figure skating Like any art, it requires sacrifice.
The easiest day. In the morning (11:45) there will be a short program for men, and we will be able to estimate what Mikhail Kolyada, Alexander Samarin and yesterday's junior Dmitry Aliev are capable of now. Kolyada, of course, is listed above all of them - he already had the "bronze" of Europe last year, it's time to take another step up.
At 18:00 - opening ceremony. And at 19:00 sports couples will present their short programs.
At 12:30 the first hit of the tournament - short programs for women. Has Yevgeny Medvedev's main golden hope recovered from the fracture? How confident is young Alina Zagitova? Aren't you tired of being forever the second Maria Sotskova, who is already being called "Miss Silver"? It's time to start answering these questions.
At 18:55, the first medals will be played - couples will show free programs. We have Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov and Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov. All this means that we have excellent chances to win.
At 12:15 pm ice dancing is a short dance.
And at 17:45 men have a free program. We are waiting for the benefit performance of Javier Fernandez. The Spaniard has not let go of the European "gold" for five years in a row, and now it is unlikely to be otherwise. But all Fernandez's thoughts are about the Olympics, the first place in it is still his dream. In a month he will have his last chance. "I don't think I can last another four years," says Javier himself. And for sure he will think about the same, winning the next European Championship.
13:40 ice dancing - free dance.
18:30 Women - free program. For the first time, Evgenia Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova will face each other in big competitions. Of course, they know each other a little more than completely: both are wards of coach Eteri Tutberdze. Both have not lost lately. But Zhenya and Alina have never fought for the same “gold” on the same ice in the same tournament. Will sparks fly from their collision? Better to check now than at the Olympics.
14:00 - demonstration performances. Farewell show before the 2018 Olympics. The composition of the Russian national team will be announced after the European Figure Skating Championships 2018. And on Sunday there will be the last opportunity to show Medvedeva, Zagitova, Sotskova, Kolyada, Tarasova and Morozova, Stolbova and Klimov and everyone else that in Russia they will still be rooting for them. Despite the flag and strange team name.
The prestigious Minsk-Arena Ice Star figure skating tournament will be held from 18 to 20 October in Minsk-Arena. A package of tickets for the tournament can be a cool gift for your friends or parents - it costs only 25 rubles for all days of the competition. By the way, the price already includes a gala concert with Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin.
The Minsk Arena will host several performances by the best skaters from Russia, Kazakhstan, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, Italy, Finland and Belarus. These will be competitions of the Challenger series, that is, participants come here to recruit international ranking to qualify for the World and European Championships. All this will end demonstration performances winners and star guests - Alexei Yagudin, Tatyana Totmyanina and Maxim Marinin. All three are Olympic champions.

Results of the 2019 European Figure Skating Championships
The main favorites of the upcoming tournament are the Russians. They are recognized masters in their sport. Another undeniable advantage is the venue. Belarus is almost Russia. Domestic athletes will compete like at home!
In the last edition of the tournament, which was held in Moscow, domestic masters achieved almost 100% results. In total, the Russians won 9 medals, two of which were of the highest value.
the best Russian men were Dmitry Aliev and Mikhail Kolyada. They won silver and bronze medals respectively. The gold went to Spaniard Javier Fernandez.
Russian fans have been waiting for gold medals. It is possible that our figure skater will finally become the best among men at the European Figure Skating Championships 2019!
In pair skating, domestic participants had no equal! The entire top three was occupied by Russian representatives. The duet of Evgeny Tarasov / Vladimir Morozov was especially good.
Our ice dancing masters did not fall face down in the mud either. Let the gold fly to France, but the silver and bronze remained with the Russians. The second place was won by the duo Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitry Solovyov, and the third place went to Alexandra Stepanova/Ivan Bukin.
Competitions among female singles is another reason to buy tickets to the ISU European Figure Skating Championships 2019. For the strongest figure skaters in the world represent Russia!
This statement was clearly proved by the results of the European Championship 2018. The 110th edition of the championship was remembered for the super confrontation Alina Zagitova vs. Evgeny Medvedev. As a result, the triumph was sensationally won by yesterday's junior Alina Zagitova!
Our skaters could take the entire podium. Maria Sotskova claimed the prize. But the experienced Italian Carolina Kostner intervened in the medal layouts. Therefore, the Russian woman showed only the 4th result.
If the national team is not mowed down by injuries, our female single skaters at the European Figure Skating Championships 2019 will again be the first!
