Кубок Панина 2009

День второй: главное

Артур Гачинский не стартовал сегодня (вернее уже вчера) на «Мемориале Н.А.Панина». Хотя он был в стартовом листе. Почему он в нём был, непонятно. Как сказал его тренер, А.Н.Мишин они с Артуром приняли решение не участвовать в Кубке Панина ещё по дороге из Японии – сказалась усталость. Зачем нужно было включать спортсмена в жеребьёвку?...

Главной неожиданностью (неожиданностью ли) стало то, что Константин Меньшов, исполнивший в короткой программе каскад 4-3 обошёл Сергея Воронова, исполнившего 4 (с перекрутом) – 2.

Стефан Ламбьель и Сара Мейер стали победителями чемпионата Швейцарии, который завершился сегодня в Лугано

Ламбьель в своей произвольной программе использовал два четверных прыжка и две комбинации «3+3». По словам спортсмена, у него были проблемы с приземлением, однако сами прыжки получились очень хорошими. Двукратный чемпион мира набрал в сумме 244,23 балла.

Мейер в Лугано представила свою новую произвольную программу «Ромео и Джульетта». Ее итоговый результат – 183,47, сообщает NZZ.ch.

The triple axel in closet

At the technical level, the double world champion should present Saturday afternoon at the free program, the same difficulties that had earned him the title in late September in Oberstdorf, a double axel, triple and quadruple. What about the triple axel, the jump that he has always been a problem?

"After the Nebelhorn Trophy, the triple axel looked fine but Stephane had a bad fall and was just delivered to the closet," said Peter Grütter. "We'll see if we have time to rework it before the European Championships, but I am not a fixation, there are many other difficulties in skating. This is partly because the media that this jump had become an obsession. "

3А в шкафу

С точки зрения техники, двукратный чемпион мира, видимо, должен будет представить в субботу днем на ПрП те же технические элементы, которые принесли ему титул победителя в конце сентября в Оберстдорфе: 2А, тройные прыжки и квад. А как же 3А - прыжок, который всегда был для него проблемным? «После Небельхорна 3А шел хорошо, но у Стефана было плохое падение, и мы несколько задвинули его в шкаф», - говорит Петер Грюттер. «Посмотрим, будет ли у нас время восстановить его до ЧЕ, но я не зацикливаюсь на нем; в фигурном катании есть много других технических элементов. В некоторой степени, это из-за средств массовой информации этот прыжок стал наваждением».

Coop: Could you tell a bit about your programs this season?
SL: In the short program I’ll skate to Wilhelm Tell and in the free skate there will be the Tango which I’ve already shown in Galas, in Japan for example.

Coop: How are the jumps?
SL: Quite good, but I have to be very careful with my whole body and especially with thigh muscles. At the moment I’m doing even more physiotherapy than training jumps! But I hope that in 10 days or so all the jumps will be OK.

Coop: How much do you train?
SL: Since I came back to competitive sport and hope to go for the Olympics in Vancouver, I made my trainings more intensive. I do lots of gymnastic exercises and go to the ice every day, but not for too long.

Coop: Your coach is again Peter Gruetter. Why?
SL: We’ve had a 14-yearlong reliable and energetically supporting relation. It has proven true both in good and sad times. He felt it always when I needed to be inspired and supported. So, when I’m in Switzerland, he is my coach. It’s obvious for both of us....

Coop: What is the difference between performances in galas and in competitions?
SL: In competitive skating there are many prescribed elements. In galas one can skip the jumps and steps that are hurtful. That was what I did last winter.

Coop: Then there are only spins left?
SL: Oh no! Some spins could bring even more pain. But both in galas and competitions I always do my maximum. In every performance I skate at my chinscrap, and even beyond it.....

Coop: In shows everything looks beautiful. But competitions often turn into some detective novels. What is the most difficult moment for you?
SL: It’s the hardest before the start. One needs to hold himself together, and when it is impossible, to endure the pressure by any means.

Coop: Not only you, but also your rival Evgeni Plushenko wants to storm into the Olympic battle. Did you expect it?
SL: I didn’t trouble myself about it. But I think that for him these Olympics will be also somewhat special. And for our sport his comeback is good.

Coop: If he wouldn’t have come back, would it be easier for you to win the Olympic gold?
SL: It’s difficult in any case! There are many strong rivals. But what I like in figure skating is the fact that you don’t meet your contenders directly; you are alone on the ice to show what you’re capable of and who you are...

... Do you still feel pain being on the ice?
SL:
Yes, sometimes there’s still pain. My injury hasn’t healed completely yet. Though I’m much better, I have to continue the physical therapy. It’s very important that I take care of my whole body and especially I have to take care of my leg muscle.

Despite your pain, you’ve never given up skating. What is it that makes you love this sport so much to bear all the pain?
SL:
Skating is my life. I’ve never wanted to be somebody else but being a figure skater. There’s no thing more beautiful than to glide across the ice. The beautiful thing about figure skating is also that it’s more than one sport. Figure skating is pure art I can express my feelings with. Besides I like to bring joy to the audience as they watch me spinning.

Коротко о третьем дне
....

У мужчин падение Константина Меньшова в произвольной программе решило исход борьбы за золотую медаль турнира. Победителем стал Сергей Воронов. Третье место занял Гордей Горшков. Так что у Алексея Урманова – тренера Воронова и Горшкова двойной праздник :)

На результаты, выраженные в баллах, особенно у мужчин, обращать внимание не стоит – за тот же прокат на международных стартах спортсмены таких баллов не получат, так как по российским правилам, исключительно на внутренних соревнованиях предусмотрена система бонусов за исполнение элементов «ультра-си». В частности за исполненный четверной прыжок Воронов и Меньшов получили по 2 бонусных балла.

Four Frenchmen battle for two Olympic spots
French nationals could decide who goes to Vancouver

(12/11/2009) - As everyone knows, the Three Musketeers of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel were in fact four (Athos, Portos, Aramis and D'Artagnan). Today's French male skating is about the same, with Brian Joubert as the leader, Alban Préaubert and Yannick Ponsero as the perennial "best enemies" and Florent Amodio as the new comer. Two of them only will be selected for the Olympic Games. French nationals, to be held in a little less than a week in Marseille, should be one of the main milestones on the road to Vancouver.

Amazingly enough, Joubert was already declared qualified by the French Federation last summer, in order to let him focus more on his preparation than on his selection.

Joubert's goals are clear.
"If I can grasp any competition and victory," Joubert said, "I will take it. If I can keep my European title, I will. Yet it is not my goal for this season. I want to be 100 percent at the Games, not before."

Joubert's early season was by not his best by far, with a fourth-place finish at the Trophee Eric Bompard and a gold medal at the NHK Trophy. He injured himself two weeks ago while rehearsing his triple Lutz. His foot was successfully operated on the next day. Ligaments had to be repaired, but his bones were not hurt, so Joubert hoped to come back rapidly to the ice. He nonetheless had to withdraw from the ISU Grand Prix Final. He resumed training earlier this week.
"I am landing triples -- Salchow and toe loop mainly -- without any problem", he said. "I am a bit more reluctant on the loop. Yet, obviously, I am not trying the Lutz or the flip," he added.

It is still unknown if Joubert will withdraw from the French championships, but he should at least be in the stands in Marseille to watch his colleagues.

Amodio is by far the lesser known of the four, yet he is also the one to watch. Amodio has reached international fame only on the Junior Grand Prix so far. Last season, he won one ISU Junior Grand Prix (Sheffield) and the Final. He did not fare nearly as well at Junior worlds, however. He then prepared for his first season in the senior ranks.
"I am arriving like a brand new skater," he said. "Also, this year I worked with different coaches on my new programs. Stanick Jeannette [a former European bronze medallist] and Sasha Zhulin made my programs, and I spent time training with Doug Leigh's school in Canada."

At just 19, Amodio defeated all his senior rivals during the French Masters, a national competition held mid-September.
His victory did not change his state of mind, however.
"It should not", he explained. "I do not want to lose stupidly. I'd rather stay quiet and do my job," he continued. "I want to show what I am capable of. If this allows me to be qualified for the Europeans, Olympics and worlds, then it will be wonderful. Yet this season is a long one."

Amodio has earned his victories through a strong technique but also a natural talent for gliding and dancing.
"I have always liked dancing," he said.

He is coached in the Paris area by his longtime coach, Bernard Glesser, himself a former national skater. Glesser discovered Amodio when he was four years old and came to skate in a public session. Amodio was born in Brazil and was adopted by French parents, just like his sister.
"If I had been asked, maybe I would have chosen soccer just like all the kids my age," he said smiling. For now, he poses a major challenge to Préaubert and Ponsero.

Préaubert earned a bronze medal from Skate Canada after a disappointing seventh-place finish at the Trophee Eric Bompard earlier this season. That competition left him with a bitter taste, as he skated two clean programs and had some of his technical elements were downgraded.
"I have two strong programs," he explained, "and I can see that they both are entertaining to the audience." Indeed, his "William Tell's Overture" short program, where he portrays a horse jockey in a rather comical way, was an instant hit.
"It is rather humorous," Préaubert said. "For this Olympic season, I wanted to come back to my own style, even though I am happy about what I did the last seasons. I tried several other things, so no one can tell me I did not explore other styles."

His free program to the Rolling Stones earned him similar success.
"My parents are absolute fans of the Rolling Stones," he explained. "I do not know why their music is so seldom used. In fact, I went to one of their concerts recently, and when I saw them, I thought it would set the fire to the audience!"

One of Préaubert's main challenges may be the readability of his steps.
"I tried to erase the default I was mentioned," Préaubert said. "What I hope is that I reach the same level of performance as last year but much higher results."
Préaubert had skated most of programs clean last year but had not felt that they were rewarded at their proper value.
"Alban has been working on his steps a lot with us," said Romain Haguenauer, who coaches some of the main French ice dancers with Muriel Boucher-Zazoui in Lyon.
"The international judging system has increased the ties between ice dancing and figure skating," Haguenauer explained. "In France, training centers are much more specialized than in the U.S. between ice dancing and figure skating. So, in fact, our skaters do need to improve on their steps, whereas they learn to skate right away in the U.S. French figure skaters and coaches are now integrating the fact that they need ice dancing for increasing their components, just like ice dancing needs figure skating to improve on spins and lifts."

Ponsero managed to finish fifth at both of his Grand Prix events this season, the Trophee Eric Bompard and the Cup of China.
"I still have a lot of work to do before the Olympics," he said, although he considered his results "acceptable." For several years now, Ponsero's main enemies have been his own nerves. Ponsero has come to be known as the "one-program man," missing either the short or the free program of most competitions he entered. One notable exception was last year's French nationals, where he won the title. At the subsequent European championships, however (in January 2009), he completely missed his short but recomposed to win the free with a superlative program and finished short of .04 points away from the podium.

Ponsero has been working extensively with a mental coach. He has also adopted a new strategy during competitions.
"I look tense throughout the competition," he explained, "yet, in fact, I may be more relaxed."

As a matter of fact, he always looks highly concentrated and absorbed into his skating.
"This is true. I mostly isolate myself into my bubble." he confirmed. His attitude certainly discourages anyone to stop him or ask him any question along his way.
"Considering the results so far, it may be a good tactic," he concluded, smiling.
About his own selection for the international events to come, Ponsero was clear.
"We are four strong skaters in France, and each one of us has the capacity to make the Olympic team. It is certainly easier for Brian [Joubert], as he has no question about his own selection. He can manage his season the way he likes. My own results give me confidence for the weeks and months to come, although I still have a lot of work to do."

The selection process should proceed fast after French nationals next week. Whatever the outcome may be, there is no doubt that the French team, however fierce the battle for selection may be, will be united as the fingers of one hand -- just like the musketeers crossing their blades were in their own time.

Lambiel skates through pain at Swiss nationals

Swiss star hopes for better performances in Talinn

(12/14/2009) - Stéphane Lambiel's spirit is willing, but so far, his body isn't cooperating as well as he hoped.

Although the Swiss star won his ninth national title in Lugano last weekend, the two-time world champion struggled with his jumps.
"When Stéphane trained hard this fall, his groin problems came back," Peter Grütter, Lambiel's long time coach, said. "Since then, we have to work very carefully in practice and always have to see what is going to work on that day. He can only train seven or eight hours per week."

The 24-year-old skater, who is attempting a comeback to competition after skipping last season with a groin injury, admitted he was not in top shape.
"Before each practice and competition I do a very special warming-up program," Lambiel said. "I can no longer just warm up for six or 10 minutes and then do one jump after the other."

At the Swiss championships last Saturday, Lambiel received a whopping 244.23 points (including a two-point national bonus for trying a quad), outpacing his international personal-best, 239.10, earned at the Grand Prix Final in 2008. It is unlikely a panel of international judges will be as generous.
Although he rotated quad toe loops in both his short and long programs, he stepped out of the landing in the long. He had no triple Axel, executing several excellent double Axels (with +2 and +3 grades of execution). Some triples, including the flip, were shaky, but he collected many points for his excellent spins and exciting step sequences. His program components ranged up to 9.25.
"I reached my goal here in Lugano, but I need more time on the ice," Lambiel said. "At my next competition at the European championships [in Tallinn, Estonia in mid-January], I will be better."

He is not the only European man struggling with injury. In late November, Brian Joubert injured a ligament in his right foot while practicing a Lutz. Evgeni Plushenko is troubled by a painful left knee, likely due to over-training quads and quad combinations. Both these skaters say they hope to return in time for their national championships later this month.

Lambiel, who is known for changing his mind, may have a new free program by the time he gets to Tallinn. He is not satisfied with his Tango routine, created with Brunner and Antonio Najarro back in the summer of 2008.
"You know me, I am always full of surprises," he said, adding he plans to keep his short program to music from Gioachino Rossini's opera Wilhelm Tell: "Wilhelm Tell is a historic Swiss hero, and I like the music."

"You never know with him if he suddenly wants a new free program," Brunner said. "Nothing has been decided yet, but we will discuss next week."
But coach Grütter said the matter was decided.
"We already have a new free program," Grütter said. "Stéphane might show it in Tallinn and decide afterwards if he will use the new one, or the Tango program, at the Olympics. He is always so emotional, a real artist."

Lambiel has only competed twice this season. After winning Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany, and qualifying for the Olympics, he had hoped for Grand Prix events as a last-minute substitute. But no invitations came, and Lambiel elected to bypass smaller European events. In lieu of competing, he did some shows in Asia.
He also travelled to Toronto this fall to work with physiotherapist Marla Pichler, who he had successfully consulted this spring. Although he planned to practice at the Cricket Skating and Curling Club, where Brian Orser trains Yu-Na Kim, Adam Rippon and others, pain curtailed his training. Instead he went to operas and ballets to get inspired.

Lambiel, like his country's previous world champion Denise Biellmann, is famous for excellent spins, which seem to be a specialty for Swiss skaters. Although figure skating lore says they excel because hockey players leave them just a small corner of the rink, the real reason is different: For decades, Swiss coach Georgette Bühlmann taught skaters and other coaches in Switzerland how to do the best spins in the world. Although she has since retired, her influence remains.

Today, because of his groin problems, Lambiel hardly trains the spins at all.
"If you can perform a spin in such a perfect quality, you do not have to train it every day to keep this standard," Brunner said. "He just does them in competition."

Despite his physical limitations, Lambiel said he was determined to compete at his third Olympics. (He placed 15th in 2002.) He made up his mind while watching the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles from the stands.
"I saw that something was missing in my life," he said. "And it is fascinating to experience the adventure of another Olympics. If it works it is a huge satisfaction. If not, it was important nevertheless and it made sense to try it.

"Before the last Olympics [where he won the silver medal], I had no limits. Now it is different. I cannot give everything any more. But I am able to master this pain in my body. On the ice I just have to forget that it hurts. If you are willing to do this, it will work."

Травма мотивировала фигуриста Жубера на борьбу за попадание в Ванкувер

МОСКВА, 14 дек - РИА Новости. Французский фигурист Брайан Жубер, пропустивший из-за травмы финал Гран-при в Японии, признался, что трудности пошли на пользу его психологическому состоянию и мотивировали на борьбу за попадание в состав олимпийской сборной, пишет L'Equipe.

В конце ноября на тренировке фигурист неудачно приземлился после исполнения тройного лутца и поранил ногу лезвием конька. В результате Жуберу потребовалась операция на связках.

"Боли стали беспокоить меня меньше. На тренировках я уже выполняю тройной сальхов, тройной аксель. У меня был страх перед тройным риттбергером, но я справился", - рассказал Жубер.

Чемпион мира-2007 добавил, что пока не прыгает лутц, а также не выполняет прыжки в четыре оборота.

Жубер собирается принять участие в чемпионате Франции, который пройдет в Марселе 18-19 декабря. Это соревнование станет этапом отбора в олимпийскую команду.

"Нас ждет интересное состязание. Я люблю соревноваться, находясь в непростой ситуации, а травма придала мне больше мотивации. Что касается программы, то, например, лутц я могу компенсировать флипом или акселем", - заметил он.

Окончательный состав сборной Франции по фигурному катанию на Олимпийские игры будет объявлен после чемпионата Европы, который пройдет в январе в Таллине.

Joubert party not to go to Marseille

Brian Joubert injured his right leg on November 25 and endured literally next day after trauma surgery under general anesthesia, is now actively preparing for the Championship of France 2009, which kicks off this week on Friday, Marsele. With the absence of an ideal physical form, as well as cut down the technical arsenal (Joubert, due to injury, is unable to perform such jumps as the lutz and flip), figure skater is strong mentally and in a hurry to reach the desired condition, despite his bandaged leg. On decide on the Championship of France at the last moment (tomorrow) and probably reason would prevail over emotion.

Marseille: to go or not?
"My participation there is under a big question mark. Last night, I again performed a quadruple, and I think jump him in a short program. But not and in long program. But in a free program, I think I can not. I clenched a little with foot pain. I would really like to go to Marseille, but alone I can not take the final decision. "

A REAL DILEMMA
"On the one hand, I say to myself: "If you do not do well, I will lose image, but since I'm really hurt, the global audience will be able to enter into my position and understand me. On the contrary, if I am succeeding in this wager, it will be a jackpot! But I do not want to reach the European Championships with the back of my head the technical errors, which I probably could have accomplished in Marseilles."

NOT FOR THE FIGURES
"It's always annoying to let slip the title of champion of France. If I go to Marseille, it will not just participate! But I'm not 100%, and it would be difficult to win. There is also the desire to win another title. But it is not to do anything. A cons-performance would be reflected in the world, while I remain a good impression with my last victory in the NHK Trophy. I must think about all this weighing the pros and cons."

FORGET THE PAIN
"It still hurts and I know that pain will persist for a while. It's bearable, it should be done with. This forces me to be much cleaner, lighter on arrivals of jumps or not."

HAVE HEART
"What scares me most is the "heart", despite the fact that over an long program we are currently working, it lacks some elements of competition will need to execute it fully, but that is another load!"

A simulation
"If I still have to refuse to participate in the Championship of France, will have to find another solution to prepare for the Championship of Europe, for example, to arrange any competition in Poitiers with the judges and competitors."

No time to lose
"After the injury, I quickly resumed training, to avoid falling behind. This Olympic season, a real countdown. My new free program is very demanding. It takes work and time to master. I feel serene. I found a good feeling. "

Браян Жубер, получивший травму правой ноги 25 ноября и перенёсший буквально на следющий день после травмы операцию под общим наркозом,сейчас активно готовится к Чемпионату Франции 2009,который стартует на этой неделе в пятницу, в Марселе.В отсутствии идеальной физической формы,а также с урезанным техническим арсеналом(Жубер,ввиду травмы, не может исполнять такие прыжки,как лутц и флип),фигурист остаётся сильным психологически и торопится достичь нужных кондиций,несмотря на забинтованную ногу.Он примет решение в отношении Чемпионата Франции лишь в последний момент(ЗАВТРА),и вероятно разум возьмёт верх над эмоциями.

МАРСЕЛЬ: ехать или нет?
"Моё участие остается под крупным вопросительным знаком. Вчера вечером я снова исполнил четверной,и думаю,что с короткой справлюсь.Но вот с произвольной,наврядли.Я по-прежнему терплю небольшую боль,на это тратится энергия.Я бы очень хотел поехать в Марсель,но в одиночку я не могу принять окончательное решение."

НАСТОЯЩАЯ ДИЛЕММА.
«С одной стороны, я говорю себе: “Если ты будешь отсиживаться,то потеряешь свой имидж, но поскольку я реально травмирован,то мировая аудитория сможет войти в моё положение и понять меня.Напротив, если я преуспею в этом пари, это станет джекпотом!Но,в то же время,я не хочу потом приехать в Таллин на ЧЕ,держа в голове технические ошибки,которые я,вероятно, мог бы совершить в Марселе»

«Конечно раздражает,когда приходится упускать очередной титул Чемпиона Франции. Если я поеду в Марсель,то точно не для участия,а для победы,но я не готов на 100% и,конечно,выиграть будет сложно. Хочется снова стать чемпионом страны,но не методом "а бы как".Если я неудачно выступлю,весь мир будет в курсе,а в настоящее время с моим именем связаны приятными воспоминания о моём хорошем выступлении на NHK.Надо действительно очень много поразмыслить,взвешивая "за" и "против".

«То, что меня пугает главным образом,это выносливость!Даже,несмотря на то,что над произвольной мы сейчас работаем,в ней отсутствуют некоторые элементы,на соревнованиях нужно будет исполнить её полноценно,а это совсем другая нагрузка!"

"Если мне,всё же,придётся отказаться от участия в Чемпионате Франции,надо будет найти другое решение для подготовки к Чемпионату Европы,например устроить какое-нибудь соревнование в Пуатье с судьями и соперниками".

НЕЛЬЗЯ ТЕРЯТЬ ВРЕМЯ
«После травмы,я достаточно быстро возобновил тренировки,чтобы пауза не была слишком длительной.Это - олимпийский сезон, настоящий отсчет времени. Моя новая произвольная программа требует большой отдачи. Нужно много работы и времени чтобы этим владеть. Я чувствую себя спокойно. Я возвращаюсь в былую форму".

Brian Joubert will not go to Marseille

Unsurprisingly, he will not participate in the championships of France this weekend

"Brian is just too long out of ice", explains Depouilly. "Let's be reasonable - he must prepare for the European Championships and the Olympics."

Joubert will therefore continue to training on Poitiers until Monday, after which taking the direction of Courchevel, where he remained until the end.
