Russian Skater Husnutdinova Praises Triple Axel Technique of Malinin and Dikiyji

Russian figure skater Dina Husnutdinova shared which athletes’ technique for executing the triple Axel she admires.

«I appreciate the way all the girls performing ultra-c elements execute their jumps because it requires immense skill and hard work. After the competition in Magnitogorsk, I mentioned that I closely follow Amber Glenn on the international stage; she has an impressive triple Axel. Previously, when Alena Kostornaia was skating, she had a textbook triple Axel that I really liked. Among the boys, each has their strengths in their own way. I would particularly highlight Ilya Malinin and Vladislav Dikyji.

As for the quadruple loop? I tried incorporating it after the Magnitogorsk event, but I ended up coming back without it. We will need to work on the approach; there’s still a lot to do to achieve stability and ensure that I can land it cleanly,» Dina Husnutdinova’s words are reported by Championship correspondent Rustam Imamov.
