Tarasova in anger. Russia has already lost the gold of the Olympics in figure skating?

The games have just begun, and our athletes are already losing medals of the highest standard. And where - in the cult for us sport: figure skating!

As you remember, at the Olympics in Sochi in figure skating appeared a new kind - team performances. It seemed that this is a real freebie for Russian athletes. After all, according to the average selection of skaters, we surpass all others on our heads.

So it turned out in Sochi: Russia won gold and the second Olympic medal of the highest test in the career was veteran Evgeni Plushenko. It was thought that Russia and Korea would easily take gold in the teams. But something went wrong ...

It is very bad that our athletes are very nervous. Or until just not ready for such pressure.

Champion of Russia Mikhail Kolyada in a short program made disgusting. Never this was not with him this season: two falls, one unfulfilled element (butterfly). And only eighth place!

But the results of each athlete are summed up, and Kolyada can now drag the others to the bottom.

That's how the experts reacted. Julia Lipnitskaya, the Olympic champion of Sochi in this form, and now the commentator, said: "You can not ride like this. It's okay to fall off a lute or a sheepskin coat, but make butterflies ... What will happen in an arbitrary? "

Tatiana Tarasova was indignant in the First Channel: "It turned out that Kolyada rolled back without three elements. It's hard to even look at it. He did not fight, did not ride. He always does this, he never fights. He has a big leap, he is very light, and skaters who have such a chic jump, usually do not fight. Or ideally, or in any way. But here the competition, and say something useless. "

Apparently, in an arbitrary program will make Dmitry Aliyev: he does not have such a status, but the guy with a character, and even at the European Championships in the amount of programs ahead of Kolyada.

But the beauty of this kind is that the role of the team is important here. Yes, Canadians are still leaders. And still, if the others pull themselves up, shoot pairs and girls, Aliyev will perform in an arbitrary manner, then gold can still be saved (although the probability is now low).

And then it will turn out to be absurd: for two minutes Kolyada simply rolled his pants on the ice. Personally, you, a pot-bellied man at the computer, could perform no worse. Come to Korea, try.

But in the case of a sporting feat, Kolyada will receive gold. He was a member of the team. Here is a paradox.
