“Semenenko’s performance in Ufa is something unreal. I usually watch Chen’s performances with this vibe. » – Leonova

Alena Leonova, silver medalist at the World Figure Skating Championships, compared the performance of the figure skater Evgenia Semenenko at the first stage of the Russian Grand Prix series in Ufa with the performance of the Olympic champion Nathan Chen .

Semenenko became the winner of the first stage of the Grand Prix on Sunday, with a total of 289.37 points. After the short program, he was in second place.

— Semenenko’s location is something unreal, cosmic. I probably usually watch Nathan Chen’s performances in this mood. It was very cool in terms of energy. I’m glad everything went well for Zhenya,” Leonova quotes Metaratings.ru.

Chen, 24, won gold in the men’s singles at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. The American skipped the 2022/23 season and decided to focus on his studies at Yale University.
