Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova told that the figure skater Sofia Akatieva I performed a short program during the Russian national team skating tests due to injury, so I missed the free skate on Sunday.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Olga Ermolina reported that Akatieva missed the free program for medical reasons. On September 16 and 17, the skating tests of the Russian national team took place in Moscow.
— Yesterday, Akatieva was injured, she was performing a short program with an injury. Of course, today it would be difficult for him to perform a free program. The decision not to play today was correct,” Tarasova told .
Akatieva won the Russian championship in Krasnoyarsk last season.
