Figure skater Elizaveta Nugumanova in a conversation with , she liked the idea of holding a tournament according to the programs of the show, separately noting the decision of the organizers to allocate funds for the costumes of the participants.
Olympic men’s figure skating champion Yagudin won the show program tournament in Moscow on his 43rd birthday. The second place was taken by the duo Victoria Sinitsina / Nikita Katsalapov, the third was Anna Shcherbakova.
— The idea of the tournament itself is cool, but the fact is that not everyone could participate in this tournament. There are many bright and talented athletes who did not want to take. I know that many have sent requests to participate, but they have been refused, the decision is taken by the FFKKR, nothing new for me. Everything as usual.
By the numbers I can mention Matvey Vetlugin, Lena Radionova, Mark Kondratyuk, couples: Sinitsina / Katsalapov, Mishina / Galyamov, Kaganovskaya / Angelopol – it was really great.
I want to note that a lot of money has been allocated for costumes, but when they come out in shirts for 5 kopeks, it should not happen on TV, ”Nugumanova told .
Earlier, the organizers announced that the winner of the tournament will receive 5 million rubles, 3 million will be paid for second place and 1 million for third.
All participants in the show tournament received a fee of 250,000 rubles, which could be spent on the staging of the program, costumes or props, and to cover other expenses associated with participation in the event.
