Stages Junior Grand Prix of the season 2013/14 are better than victory on stage in Poland and silver in Latvia were given the right to participate Adyan Pitkeev in the Grand Prix finals in Japan. According to the memoirs of an athlete, the finale in Fukuoka became for him a strong test of psychological resistance to stress, because that is how he felt prior to each exit on the ice. Usually athletes to their own performance not look rentals its rivals because from childhood instilled skaters: view other people's performances can knock off the attitude of yourself, so that this tradition has long revered and almost everything. Adyan was no exception to this rule, until he realized that it is much easier to perform and win even if he knows how skated his opponent: "I'm not looking for a long time and hire any results, because the coaches told me, this can not be do. Well, if you can not, you can not. And I went out in the dark. But then I realized that I was much more comfortable to ride when I know how contestants were - perfect or terrible, than to remain ignorant. "
Going to free program with the last start number (注: 此处有误, 应为倒数第二位出场), the Moscow athlete knew very well how skated his nearest rivals and that American Nathan Chen who literally Pitkeevu trod on the heels of their result on the short program, showed a perfect rental. "You can" fall down "because your opponent is perfectly skated - says Adyan - and you have to ride no margin for error. And when you do that, it is worthy of respect. I believe that this exam at the Grand Prix Final was held, when I managed to survive after a perfect hire American. "
On his first championship Russia Adyan Pitkeev selected in the 2012/13 season, which was addressed generally enough for a debutant - 15th place out of 18 participants. Exactly one year later at the same tournament he performs quite well for a 15-year-old, coming 5th and improving its result for the year by almost 45 points. The championship of Russia 2014 Sochi lot miraculously decreed that Pitkeev short program skated to the first starting number, but in any program on the ice out the latest in this form. During his short program to the music of Igor Korneliuk "At Voland's Ball" skater got such a high score (76.75), which held its first result as long as the ice went out Evgeni Plushenko, who first pushed the young bugger on 2- place . Free program, delivered by a violin Edvin Marton Art on Ice, brought Adyan final 5th place National Championship, behind only Maxim Kovtun and all the old guard - Evgeni Plushenko, Sergei Voronov and Konstantin Menchov. Pro skater himself decided that the 5th place - a good result, but the feeling of satisfaction was not yet, because in the long program, he, in his words, not skated perfectly. "I tore the last jump, and not very difficult for himself - he says. - And I can not even say that I hire forces was not enough just to relax before the music stopped. If he did, he could compete for the 4th place . "
At the World Junior Championships Pitkeev rode our junior team leader and, by his own admission, do not worry, because he knew and felt that he was prepared very well. So he was surprised when, coming out onto the ice for the short program execution, suddenly realized that the legs do not feel podsobit. "Feet do not travel - recalls skater - I think that I shall fall right before the start of the program, this was a weakness in the legs. Then he thought that the fall on a triple axel, but it did, then the same thoughts before the cascade, but again do. And last jump rittberger worth and I think that's it, I just do. And do not. I was so shocked myself that dokatyvayutsya program would not. "The result was the 7th place, and no matter how Adyan was disappointed he could not help but notice that the quality of his two jumps judges rated higher than all the other skaters, so did he at least double rittberger, his place would have been exactly in the top three. Free program for the student Tutberidze became a matter of principle: the leader of the tournament losing to Canadian Nam Nguyen in the long program, Adyan Pitkeev he wins this program in technique, typing just the amount of space - nearly 80 points. It should be noted that the judges and technical experts were unanimous generous, putting pluses for purely executed jumps and estimating items only 3-4 level. In short, it is in this season it was appreciated by the judges, to the fore specialists noticed his audience.
