Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova told that the figure skater Adélia Petrossian would have become first in the short program during the second stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Omsk if she had not failed on one of the jumps.
Gorbachev is in the lead following the results of the short program: on Saturday, the 16-year-old athlete received 75.89 points for skating. Petrosyan is in second place with 71.48 points, with the top three closed by Maria Agayeva (67.22).
— Gorbatcheva is performing very well, she became first after the short program. Petrosyan would have been first if she hadn’t taken the plunge. Adelia snatched it, so she fell behind Alina. In general, Petrosyan is stronger than Gorbacheva,” Tarasova told .
The skaters will present their free programs on Sunday, October 22.
