USSR Honored Coach Tatyana Tarasova appreciated the performance of Eteri Tutberidze in the short program of the Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk, where her student Maya Khromykh took eighth place. He shared his opinion with him “Soviet sport”.
“He crashed. It was his first start after a long-term injury; it was his first time competing and he crashed, so he finished 8th. He’s recovering now, you have to understand that,” said Tarasova.
According to the results of the short program in women’s single figure skating, Maria Agayeva from Moscow came first with 70.91 points. Second place went to St. Petersburg with 70.75 points. It went to Anna Frolova from St. Petersburg. Another representative from Moscow, Elizaveta Kulikova, completed the top three with 68.18 points.
The International Skating Union (ISU) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions. In the 2022/23 season, they focused on domestic competitions (Russian Grand Prix stages and the national championship). Although the issue of the return of Russian athletes was brought up at the ISU meeting held in October, it was not brought to the agenda.
Previously Tarasova in the name I am a fan of the Russian figure skater.
