In Chelyabinsk, from 22 to 25 December the championship of Russia in figure skating will be held. In addition to the medals, it will be played on tours to Europe and the world championships. On the eve of the tournament RT spoke with the coach of the highest category Eugene Rukavitsin, five wards that will fight for a place in the team.

- What are the views of the championship of Russia are of greatest interest to you?

- I'm in Chelyabinsk with the pupils, so I have a direct interest in everything that happens here. I train Dmitry Aliev, Anton Shulepov, Alena Leonova, Alice Fedichkina and Serafima Sakhanovich.

- What are the forecasts you have on the man's tournament?

- I can not give you forcasts, but the competition should be very interesting. There are several athletes who can get into the top three: Mikhail Kolyada, the same Dmitry Aliev Maxim Kovtun Sergei Voronov. All of them are entitled and each expects to get a ticket, which guarantees a trip to the championships.

- Aliyev recently won the final of the Junior Grand Prix. if he reaches already to the point to be in the top three?

- Naturally, I do not doubt it.

- His program will be different from the one that was presented in Marseille in the final of the Grand Prix?

- Of course, changes are planned in the short program, because the junior and adult competitions are held by different rules. Here and in the duration difference of free programs, and the content must be different. For example, young athletes can not do quad jumps, and the championship of Russia is possible, so to see how he performs, already in the short program.

- Do you have any doubts that Medvedeva Eugene and Anna Pogorilaya lead the fight for the gold in girls? This can then get all the third ticket to the national team?

- In the women's competition the athletes even more interesting. There are so many, you can select Maria Sotskova , who recently appeared in the final Grand Prix of the adult. In no case she can not be discounted and Elena radio news, while in France and it took last place.

- What can you say about Alena Leonova? As far as it is ready after a very bad performance on stage in France?

- Yes, the beginning of the season it is not set, almost catastrophic rental in Paris. But then Alain performed at the tournament in Zagreb. There she skated brilliantly - both programs performed cleanly and took third place. Leonov lost only Carolina Kostner and Lisa Tuktamysheva, with second place conceded just half a point. So from it too can expect good results in Chelyabinsk.

- And how is it with the attitude? It recovered after the French tournament?

- Yes, fighting, good mood. Today was the first training session, Alain spent her dignity.

- What can you say about the pair events?

- The absolute favorite, I think Xenia Stolvona / Fedor Klimov and Yevgeny Tarasov / Vladimir Morozov. These two pairs of all should be clear. But for the third place will be a struggle, a lot of applicants, from Alexander and Natalia Zabiyako Enbert to Anastasia Mishina and Vladislav Mirzoyev.

Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov skated into the lead in the pairs short @ Russian nationals.

The winner of the final "Grand Prix" Eugenia Medvedeva noted that she is not very surprised by their high estimates for the short program at the Russian Championships in Chelyabinsk. She received 80.08 points, whereas for the same program in the final "Grand Prix" gained 79.21 points, which was a new world record.

- I had time to see the result and I can say that I'm not too surprised by the estimates in the presence of relatively a pure short - Tass quoted Medvedeav, who performed a cascade and jumps in the second half of the program, which has raised the cost of the elements. - It's not set maximum, I think everyone understands this - you can do lutz, toe loop and flip in the second half, I have such plans.

Today, I'm happy - it's a good result, but the main battle will be tomorrow. I am glad that today we finished early, usually at international competitions we are late in the evening. So today I plan well to recover and tune in to a decisive free program.

World and European champion, the winner of the Grand Prix of the 2016 series finale, Evgenia Medvedeva won the Russian Figure Skating Championship, which culminated in Chelyabinsk. Young skater 14-year-old Alina Zagitova was second in the championship, Maria Sotskova ranked third.

Medvedeva was unequivocally the best in the short and in the long program and finished with the tournament record - 233.57 points. But the struggle for a place from the 2nd to 5th was much harder and championship medals claimed by both young Zagitova and Sotskova and more experienced Anna Pogorilaya and Elena Radionova. The dispute has won by the youths.

Pogorilaya ranked only 4th place, although some experts believe that the judges were too strict and even unfair to the member team of Russia: Anna was separated 2.28 points from the podium.

Radionova - fifth and one more experienced athlete Elizaveta Tuktamysheva was 7th place after the short program, dropped to 8th in the overall standings. No less hard was also the failure of Alena Leonova, who was just 13th.
