What happened during the free skate rental Julia Lipnitskaya on the Grand Prix in Moscow, no one can explain. An accurate diagnosis so quickly deliver without inspection. One thing is clear that due to health problems the athlete has failed entirely to roll the program. After skater Axel stopped, pulled up to the coach, but a quick word with him and the doctor decided to still continue performance. About what happened on the ice of the Palace of Sports “Megasport” said coach Julia Lipnitskaya Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov.
- Now we will understand, because obviously there are problems with health. Let’s just say - taken away leg.
- Perhaps it echoes of injury, due to which the athlete missed the first stage of the Grand Prix?
- I find it difficult to assess without delay the scale of the tragedy. It is possible that the place to be and it is. He was bruised back komchika. There was a sufficient number of problems.
- Portends Do something before any program that could happen?
- There were no preconditions after the short program. During warm-up, when someone noticed she approached me, and we were doing some movements with my help. In the warm-up I have been a call.
- Maybe it was necessary to withdraw?
- This is, strictly speaking, was not discussed. I did not think it was so serious moment.
–Yulya Felt pain when the sign on the axel?
– Yes.
- Such situations have been?
- It is not in such a scale.
- Julia nevertheless tried to continue the program. It was necessary?
- The referee said, if you can continue the program, respectively, then we will include music 3.08 (that is, from the moment she stopped). Julia approached us, we consulted, and she said she wanted to continue. If an athlete says he wants to continue the program, perhaps, coaches and medical staff does not make sense to stop.
Yuri on Ice getting hyped so I made this. there’s a rumor (or maybe official statement?) that Yuri Plisetsky’s (the boy) character is made based on Yulia Lipnitskaya (the girl). for those who don’t know, Yulia Lipnitskaya is a Russian, and the youngest gold medalist at the European Championships, from the single ladies category (she’s basically 18 this year. and win the gold medal at 15. Meanwhile I am doing my best not to munched my test paper at 15)
so basically it’s like drawing the same person, with different form. Yulia’s pose is based on Plisetsky’s from the opening on Yuri on Ice, and Plisetsky’s pose is based on Yulia’s photo. TBH I’m crazier over Victuri but, both of them inspire me more so I draw Yuri and Yulia instead of Victuri, for now.
Olympic figure skating champion Yulia Lipnitskaya will not perform at the Russian Championships due to injury, according to the website of Figure Skating Federation of Russia.
The skater fell on slippery sidewalk on her way home on December 17 which resulted in hip joint and lower back injury.
“The athlete is diagnosed with a bruised right hip, and post-traumatic arthritis of the sacroiliac joint. The nature of the injury precludes Lipnitskaya taking part in the Russian Championships, as the minimum treatment period is 14-17 days,” - says the statement by the federation.
It is also noted that the skater will be treated in Moscow.
