Polina Tsurskaya (RUS) takes Junior Ladies gold Polina Tsurskaya of Russia took the Junior Ladies gold. Teammate Maria Sotskova rose from fourth place to earn the silver medal and Japan’s Marin Honda claimed the bronze.

The 14-year-old posted a new personal best score with 128.59 points and totaled 195.28 points to win the title in her debut at the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final. “I was a little nervous before the free skating, because I was in first place after the short program and I needed to skate clean. The other girls are very strong. So I was focused on each element and I tried to execute them as ideally as possible. I’ll go to Junior Nationals and I have to skate clean there and finish first so I can qualify for Junior Worlds and the Youth Olympic Games”, the Moscow-based skater said.

С момента выхода последнего номера нашего журнала все мы пережили непростой период. Шок после решения об отмене чемпионата мира сме- нился тревогой за здоровье родных и близких нам людей, введением режи- ма самоизоляции. Острейшая ситуация с распространением коронавируса COVID-19 вынудила нас «замедлить» темп жизни, отказаться от многих привычных вещей. И наш любимый вид спорта не стал исключением. Большинство стран приняли строжайшие карантинные меры и закрыли на длительный срок ледовые арены и тренировочные базы. Такого еще не было в истории спорта. У спортсменов и тренеров не было возможности опереться на опыт прошлых лет и выбрать наиболее подходя- щий вариант подготовки. Но наши фигуристы не опустили руки! Они стали поддерживать свою форму в домашних условиях, развивали новые навыки, думали над новыми постановками, проводили онлайн тренировки в соци- альных сетях … Как раз об этом они и рассказывают сегодня на страницах журнала. Это был непростой период, но мы прошли его достойно. В начале июня члены сборных команд России, благодаря усилиям ФФККР, Министерства спорта РФ, ФМБА России смогли начать тренировки на льду федеральных баз в Новогорске, в Кисловодске и Сочи. Постепенно от- крываются и другие катки, давая спортсменам возможность начать актив- ную подготовку к новому сезону. Очевидно, что он тоже будет непростым. Привычный календарь международных соревнований пока остается под вопросом.

  • Muodostelmaluistelu
    Muodostelmaluistelu 1 Muodostelmaluistelu pähkinänkuoressa Muodostelmaluistelu on taitoluistelun näyttävä joukkuemuoto, jossa tärkeitä elementtejä ovat vauhti, yllättävät kuviot, huimat pari- ja ryhmänostot sekä yhtäaikaisuus. Seniori- ja juniorijoukkueissa on 16 luistelijaa. Muodostelmaluisteluohjelmat ovat vahvasti teemallisia ja ne kertovat aina tarinan, jota korostetaan puvuilla ja koreografialla joilla on kokonaisuutta ajatellen suuri merkitys. Tasapainoinen ohjelma koostuu taitoluistelun peruselementeistä ja muodostelmakuvioista, jotka liitetään toisiinsa taitavilla koreografisilla siirtymillä. Ohjelmaa vaikeuttavat erilaisten vapaaluisteluelementtien lisäksi käsiotteiden, luistelusuuntien ja vauhdin vaihdokset. Ohjelmissa voidaan nähdä myös yksinluistelusta tuttuja liikkeitä kuten piruetteja ja liukuja. Joukkueen suoritusta arvioidaan mm. ohjelman sisältämien elementtien vaativuustason, suorituspuhtauden ja laadun perusteella sekä ohjelman osa-alueiden kuten perusluistelutaidon, esityksen, sommittelun, koreografian sekä tulkinnan perusteella. Muodostelmaluistelu on Suomessa suosittu laji, sillä maassamme on 153 joukkuetta (kevät 2013), joissa on lähes 2800 luistelijaa. Laji on hyvin suosittu myös aikuisten keskuudessa. Muodostelmaluistelun historiaa Muodostelmaluistelu sai alkunsa Yhdysvalloista 1970-luvulla. Suomalaisen taitoluistelun uranuurtaja Jane Erkko näki lajissa potentiaalia ja toi muodostelmaluistelun Suomeen 1980-luvun alussa. Erkko halusi tarjota vaihtoehdon etenkin niille yksinluistelijoille, joilla ei ollut edellytyksiä
