The winners are not only judged. Discuss them - the lot of the weak, believes Ilya Averbukh. So the silver medalist of the Olympic Games in ice dancing responded to an American commentary by Ashley Wagner. The figure skater criticized the number of Russian Alina Zagitova. The attacks concerned the arbitrary program of the team tournament of the current Olympics. Wagner expressed her opinion in her Twitter: "I respect the competitive approach. But I can not accept this production. This is not a program. She killed time in the beginning, and then just jumped in the second half.

This is not a performance. I understand that the referee system allows this, but figure skating is not in this ". Then Zagitova won an arbitrary program, and the statement of the American woman answered the following: "I do not agree with Wagner's opinion about my program.

I have a balanced program: at first slow music, and then on an increasing. All jumps - in time with the music ". For compatriot Ilya Averbukh also interceded. He suggested that those who consider Zagitova's speech simple should repeat it. "As for Ashley Wagner and her critics, before making such statements it would be nice to get selected for the Games. Come out on the ice and prove that it's better. In Twitter, it is better to congratulate friends and relatives on the holidays, "- said figure skater RT. "The rules are uniform for all and they are clearly spelled out, jumps in the second part assume a bonus," Averbukh said.. "Why not use it?" You know, if American skater hopped like that, I do not think that such questions leaked to the press ".
