St. PETERSBURG, Sep 6, Andrey Simonenko. Bronze medalist of the Russian stage For the 2020 Grand Prix, figure skater Pyotr Gumennik said that he had prepared several options for a free program, one of them with five quadruple jumps. On Tuesday, test skates of the city's best skaters started in St. Petersburg. The goose performed a short program, making several mistakes. «Something didn't work out today. It was not bad at the warm-up, but the skate didn't work out. Nothing, my first skates usually don't go well, then it gets much better. In general, I'm ready, I can jump to do everything. No problems. As the last season ended, I began to complicate the programs. In the short program I tried to do quadruple lutz and rittberger, in the free program I came up with three or four options with a different number of quadruples, each of them is more difficult than last season. The most difficult one is five quads and a triple axel,” Gumennik told reporters. “I rolled out a program with four quads. This is a working option. I haven’t rolled five yet,” the skater added.
