Athletistic/ Figure skating. Last weekend the fourth stage of the Figure Skating Grand Prix took place in Kazan. Figure skater Kamila Valieva was in the lead after the short program, but finished fourth. The controversy was caused by one of the elements in which the judges found a fall. Russian figure skater Betina Popova spoke about this.
– She touches the ice with her hip. But it’s not even that critical – there was also contact during skate testing. The question is about controlled movement, I remember this rule while dancing. If during training the judges notice that the movement is done in the same way, then there are no questions. Here it was clear that there was a loss of balance, which resulted in a deduction. Nastya Mishina usually lay down on the ice, but this was not a fault, but a planned move. No chattering or twitching. Yes, you can say that’s what you wanted, but they’ll tell you that you were hanging out. One hundred percent fall, everything is extremely simple and objective,” SE quoted Popova as saying.
