Russian figure skater Elizaveta Tuktamysheva said she decided not to take any risks and not add a quadruple toe loop to the free program at the Russian Championships in Krasnoyarsk, but she plans to prepare an element for the 2023 tournaments .
Tuktamysheva takes second place after the short program at the Russian Championships, earning 82.98 points. Sofia Akatieva is in the lead (85.59).
– Will I make a quadruple sheepskin coat in the free program? No, I decided not to take the risk this year. And you just have to skate the free program like it was in the Grand Prix. Calmly. However, I hope that next year I will prepare for other tournaments … No less important, but at the Russian Championship it seemed inappropriate to me to take such a risk, ”Tuktamysheva told reporters.
The skater’s free program will be presented on Saturday.
