Alexei Yagudin explained why it was important for him to wear a triple sheepskin coat during the show programs tournament.
“Ilya Averbukh and I talked, I explained: ‘You understand, I need a program – this tournament is not about a triple sheepskin coat. This is different. You will see a completely different Yagudin if I jump in the first few seconds. I have to skip it – otherwise I physically die. The video shows: it’s a change of everything! Then they approached me: “You were like a child who received the candy he was dreaming of so much,” he said.
The skater also noted that he physically has no problem with the triple jump – it’s the fear of not jumping now. However, he wanted to conquer his fear.
