Athletistic/ Figure skating. Last weekend, the Russian figure skating competition season officially began. Russian figure skaters are still deprived of the opportunity to participate in international tournaments. In this regard, the main start of this fall is the Russian Grand Prix. The first stage took place in Ufa.
This season, many expect good results from 16-year-old figure skater Adelia Petrosyan. Student Eteri Tutberidze finished last season with victory in the final of the Russian Grand Prix in St. Petersburg, beating Kamila Valieva and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.
Adelia Petrosyan justified her status as favorite for the first stage of the Russian Grand Prix. She won the short program on Saturday with 84.38 points. The figure skater performed the elements as best as possible. She performed a trixel, a combination of a triple lutz and triple toe loop, and a triple flip.
Adelia Petrosyan’s free program turned out to be imperfect. She had falls from a quadruple flip and a sheepskin loop, and an unclear exit from a cascading snipe was also recorded. However, the 16-year-old skater became the first. Eteri Tutberidze’s ward scored 150.36 points for the free skate and 234.74 in total.
It’s no secret that Russian figure skating attracts the attention of spectators around the world. In particular, foreigners talked about the performance of Adelia Petrosyan on the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Ufa. They left their comments on the English forum Reddit. It should be noted that not everyone reacted enthusiastically. Some believe Petrosyan should make some changes to his speeches.

– It’s definitely something.
Cheyyrr:
– Someone give Adelia some coherent choreography…this girl can eat anything, but for some reason they always give her crazy Daniil Gleikhengauz choreography!

– I love upbeat shows, but this one seems difficult. Maybe it’s the combination of so many different pieces of music coupled with using as many of Jackson’s signature moves as possible, but it just feels like there’s too much going on and you pop confused by what you just saw. We forget that she had a clean triple axel at the start in the middle of everything else.

– I really like the idea of this program, I think it could be great with a little more work. Adelia is still fun to watch.
sk8tergate:
– This program still seems young to me. Kicks, superficial transitions and frenetic choreography – all this is typical of the young skater.
creseventelle:
– Adelia’s tricks are so powerful and fast, wow!
ellapolls:
– Adelia is a wonderful performer… Another student of Tutberidze who can create magic using competent choreography and correct technique.
bored with the tee:
– She was great! Amazing girl. A concentrate of energy and an ideal size (she is small and will remain so, like Lisa and Alena). Superb triple axis.
