Sofia Muravieva skated the short program perfectly at the Russian Grand Prix stage in Perm, the figure skater was ahead Elisabeth Tuktamysheva due to a clearer execution of the stunt, Olympic ice dance champion Natalya Bestemyanova told .
Muravyova won the short program on Saturday with 81.59 points. World and European champion Tuktamysheva (78.74 points) is on the second row, third is Ksenia Sinitsyna (70.94).
– Muravyova skated beautifully, smart girl. Tuktamysheva also performed well. She had a technical failure at the start of the step sequence and the quality of the stunt was slightly lower than Muravyova’s, so Sofya turned out to be higher at the end, Bestemyanova told .
– Will there be a fierce fight during the free program?
– Of course, the fight always goes to the end, and the free program decides a lot.
The figure skaters will perform their free program on Sunday.
