Лена, по сути, открыла широкую дорогу для советских фигуристок на мировых состязаниях. Повысился рейтинг, увеличилось представительство на соревнованиях. До тех пор советское женское катание несколько не дотягивало. Это был прорыв. Ну и заслуга Жука, конечно, огромная
People often focus on her jumping ability, but the flow, agility, the depth of her edges, the lines she creates, the use of her head, the sensitivity of her movements, her spins, etc. are all SUPER impressive.
Единственная из команды тренера Жука не пошла против него, ничего не подписывала против него а наоборот говорила о нем только хорошее, не побоялась встать на защиту своего тренера.
For 1976, that's actually a lot of raw talent. Doing triple toes when the Olympic Gold Medalist didn't land a single triple jump. She had great spring on her jumps, good speed, decent spins. Is that Zhuk, her coach? You can see on TH-cam here that she competed in the 1984 Olympics too.
Революционно для эпохи,три тройных от 12-летней девочки,если бы учитывали только выступление в короткой и произвольной программе без школы,то Елена Водорезова стала бы призёром ЧМ-1977 13 лет!!

@@hannibaljustincase9985 Very much like the Biellmann spin! Biellmann was only the 3rd or 4th skate to perform it but she is the only that popularized it-hence the name, Biellmann spin. I first saw Karin Iten perform it well before Biellmann even came into the picture, and I recently saw on TH-cam Tamara Moskvina performing it in the 1960s.
@@cedericocosantorini8013 It's actually an inside axel. We don't see many of them today. You took off on forward inside edge, did 1 and a half revolutions and landed on the same foot as you took off on.
@@cedericocosantorini8013 She's not moving backwards, look more closely. It is impossible for her to move backwards after she's just landed forwards after a split jump.
She did another 2 seasons eventually winning the bronze at the 1978 European Championships. Sadly, she then developed juvenile arthritis and she didn't return until 1982 and equally sadly her jumping ability had gone. She won a few more medals because she really improved on her figures but by then they were worth less. It's a great pity really that such a promising career was destroyed by illness.
She won the long at the 1977 World Championships in Tokyo and finished 7th overall. She came 6th at the 1978 Worlds in Ottawa, where NondescriptNY says she came 5th in the LP (while landing a triple loop, the only lady possibly to do so, and almost completing a double axel-triple salchow combination). That was her peak and then she grew, had arthritis and dropped out for a few years. When she returned in 1982 she was much taller. She still had a beautiful line and high double axels. But the triples were rare. She landed triple toe at 1983 Worlds but fell on the salchow, winning the bronze medal on the strength of her figures and short. At the 1984 Olympics she didn't land any triples in her short or long program. Would love to see any other performances people have of her from 1977 or 1976 Worlds or any of the Russian competitions. Such a huge talent.
@@martypellow9908 I have searched the internet high and low for a video of her winning long at 1977 Worlds but alas I cannot find one. If anyone has it please upload it.
@@martypellow9908 I can remember watching it on T.V, I was 14 years old at the time. All I can remember was that she had a clean skate but I'm quite sure she must have done triples to beat Fratianne, Poetsch, Wendy Burge and Barbie Smith in the long.

Помню это выступление, смотрела по черно- белому телеку, мне было самой 15 лет, смотрю сейчас, как будто в детство вернулась, интересно просматривать

Her rotational ability was impressive, when she is in the air, instead of placing her arms tight to her chest, she lets it hang around her neck.

Ein Wunderkind wie Olga Korbut. Für diese Zeit einfach wunderbar. Schade das sie ab 1979 verletzt war.
Danke für schöne Komment.

Школа, тогда для наших одиночников, была камень преткновения! Это не позволяла приблизится призовым местам!

Какие у неё высокие прыжки!!! Если бы не болезнь, стала бы чемпионкой....
Wonderful! Thanks for posting this. Too bad the figures counted for so much back then, she was amazing!
She was 2nd in fugues in the 1984 Olympics.
She was a great skater , now she's a great coach
Her double axel was great and her rotation was clean AF
This is quite athletic for its time
то чувство когда исполняешь прыжок с элементом риппон, когда самого Риппона и в проекте не было
2:36 The "Rippon Lutz" ten years or so before Adam Rippon himself was born!
that pretentious wretch did not invent that arm variation. The only lutz worthy of being called a "rippon lutz" is a severely underrotated quad lutz!

@@nondescriptnyc yes , you are right.the first spin was Tamara Moskvina
Пройдут годы, и ее ученица станет первой олимпийской чемпионкой из России.
Simply charming.
Первый призер из советских фигуристок чемпионатов мира, Европы.Тренер С.Жук
Сколько ей было , 13 лет? И уже на Олимпиаде участвовала?
Да, а сегодняшние 13 летние хайпуют в тик- токах.
Нет, ей ещё не исполнилось тогда 13. Было полных 12 лет.
Великий Станислав Жук!
this young skater has the body type of todays skaters, like a jumping pencil
А что, в 12 лет уже брали на Олимпиаду? Или это юниорские соревнования?
тогда было можно
Oh how skating has changed
Да, сейчас на Олимпиаде не увидишь 12-летних девочек.
12 лет Водорезовой было в 1972 году на Олимпиаде. А здесь 16.
@@burik88 Ей здесь 12 лет и 9 месяцев(родилась в мае 1963),на ОИ 1972 она не выступала.
@@burik88 Not true!!
Rayssa Leal?
Judge #9, 5.9/5.4 I bet no one ever saw a skater get those same marks before or since.
All she had were the triples. At 12 years old, her skating skills were poor!
What is that jump after the split jump at 0:32 ?
Single loop, I'd say.

Thanks for the insight, @@npe1. But I see her take off from a back edge (her moving backwards), that's why I figured a loop.

Guess we're not talking about the same jump @@npe1
MEETINGS FOR KENTUCKY I LOOKED A LOT LIKE THIS FANTASTIC SKATER SHE NEEDED A NICE SHORT DOROTHY HAMILL HAIRCUT OR ONE LENGTH PIXIE
This is Gold Medal work. Why again was Hamill considered so good?
She was American 🙄
It wasn't all about the jumps.
@@emmaoliviawedgwood That is how I feel now about the Russian skaters who are overscored and win everything.

what's that fist track called?
Personally, I always thought she was kind of underscored. This was beautiful. She must not have done well in figures to only be in 10th place.
What a pity she did not skate to her best ability and skate at the 19 80olympics
5.7/4.4
The scores seem a little high.
