Former figure skater Maria Butyrskaya said that Adelia Petrosyan confidently won the Russian Championships. “Soviet sport”.
“It’s hard when you have to jump on your ass for the first time. But that didn’t bother him at all. She didn’t manage to skate cleanly today, but still confidently won the national championship,” said Butyrskaya.
Petrosyan came first with 246.53 points. Sofia Muravyova took second place with 239.4 points. Kamila Valieva, who was the leader after the short program, took third place with 237.99 points.
At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) appealed to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions. For this reason, the International Skating Union (ISU) suspended athletes from both countries from competitions. The last major tournament for the Russians was the Olympic Games in Beijing in February 2022.
Previously Valieva acceptedthat the weight was pressing on him.
