The fact that the team celebrated coach Alexei Mishin phenomenal athlete growing up, said a long time.
Already at age 12 Lisa Tuktamysheva owned the whole arsenal of triple jumps, and in addition, performed the elements of ultra-si: Axel is three and a half turns and a cascade of "triple Lutz - triple toe loop."
In the world (not to mention Russia, where women's skiing in deep crisis. - Comm. Aut.) Athletes with the technical arsenal could be counted on the fingers of one hand.
However,due to the age requirement, which was introduced by the International
Skating Union (ISU), Lisa had no right to speak for 14 years in international competitions. A paradox! In Russia there was an extra-class athlete, but the honor of the re known to be weaker, but fit into the Procrustean bed of age standards. Fans and sports officials were biting his elbows, but only this year, Lisa was admitted to Tuktamysheva tournaments in the Grand Prix.
Her debut can be called fantastic: she won two stages in Mississauga and Paris, and won the prestigious tournament, commercial Japan Open. Suffice it to say that the "victims" of a native of the town of Glazov Udmurt became double worldchampion Miki Ando, three-time European champion Carolina Kostner. Unfortunately, this season Russian woman, horror at the star-rivals at the world championships and Europe will not stand up because of the same age restriction:a top-level tournaments can be declared by the achievement of only 15 years old.
