World Championship silver medalist (2012) Alena Leonova spoke to Gazeta.Ru about the favorites for the Russian Figure Skating Championship in the women’s tournament starting in Krasnoyarsk.
– In fact, all kinds will be interesting to see. Our leaders are generally the same, but I think this championship will show something new. There will be leadership changes.
It’s hard to single out anyone, as everyone is now in good physical shape. Maybe I’ll talk about women’s skating. It seems to me that Kamila Valieva is going to fight very seriously for the title of champion of Russia. She will have to fight. We have a lot of good young girls. For example, Adelia Petrosyan, Sofia Akatieva. Naturally, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva will fight. The composition is so serious, it will be interesting to see, – said Leonova.
Valieva is the current Russian champion, as well as the Olympic champion of the Beijing 2022 team tournament.
The Russian Championship will take place at the Platinum Arena in Krasnoyarsk from December 22-25.
