Russian figure skating star Yevgeny Semenenko crashed sharply at a show in St. Petersburg on Saturday. The young man tried to get up from the ice four times after the situation, but he fell all the time. Semenko had hurt his head in a hurry.
Sitting in the auditorium Valentina Prigodina was a meter away from Semenko when he fell. The woman watched as the star skater tried to get up with poor success.
– I’ve never seen anything like it, so I was quite upset, Prigodina said For Sport24.
After the episode, Semenko was rushed to hospital. He was there conscious and able to communicate with doctors.
On Sunday, Semenko’s coach Tatjana Mishina said To TASS the well-being of its protector.
– The diagnosis is concussion. He has several hemorrhages in his head, but no serious internal injuries, Mishina said.
Poor conditions?
Even before Semenko’s injury Aleksandra Boikova had fallen in his own performance.
According to Sport24, there were three possible causes for dangerous crashes: poor ice condition, poor lighting and a smaller-than-normal skating area.
The skating event was hosted by a two-time figure skating winner and a true superstar of the sport Yevgeny Plushenko. The man knocked out your assessment of bad conditions In an interview with Championat.
– The lighting, like the ice, was great. The fall was just a coincidence, Plushenko snorted.
– Even football players fall on the field, they can bend or break their legs. It also happens in hockey. Figure skating is not ballet. Here, too, the leg can break and the athlete can be injured, Plushenko continued.
The 39-year-old star has been featured a lot in the media lately, as the man has openly supported Vladimir Putinia and Russian hostilities in Ukraine.
Plushenko, for example, recently arranged for his wife Jana Rudkovskan with a figure skating event with flags featuring a Z mark familiar from the Russian army.
Rudkovska, for her part, has complained about how sanctions make her life difficult. For example, a woman no longer receives champagne on Aeroflot flights.
