Choreographer Zheleznyakov said that he did not understand the evaluation criteria in the show programs tournament.
IRKUTSK, March 21 – RIA Novosti, Alena Sulizova. The criteria for judging figure skaters at the tournament were incomprehensible for the Russian Challenge show programs, Alexei Zheleznyakov, the choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze group, told RIA Novosti.
The tournament took place on March 18. 43-year-old Alexei Yagudin won. The jury included Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Evgeny Mironov, Valentin Yudashkin, Alla Sigalova and Boris Eifman. According to the regulations, points were awarded based on “the judges’ impressions of the competitors’ performances”. After the tournament, 2018 Olympic champion Alina Zagitova said she did not understand by what criteria the numbers were judged.
“It was necessary to immediately come up with a kind of clear understanding of how they were really going to be judged. For example, they needed to explain to people that your quartet is not our concern, that we are interested in art, choreography, performance, music, style, the idea, it’s purely the artistic part. There was no clear position. I think he will draw conclusions from this and take everything into account next year,” added the agency’s source.
The end of a wonderful era. Why did Zagitova and Medvedev lose to Shcherbakova?
