Olympic champion of the team tournament Ekaterina Bobrova believes that the figure skater Sofia Muravyova under the leadership of Evgeni Plushenko will fight for victory at the 2024 Russian Championship.
On Sunday, Muravyova, 17, won singles gold at the fourth stage of the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix in Kazan. According to the results of the short and free program, she scored 228.81 points, ahead of Alina Gorbacheva (219.02) and Daria Sadkova (214.54).
— In last year’s short program, she lived this story because she knew what she was singing about, [понимала] these emotions. On one of the podcasts I said that this was some kind of too adult program, but then Sonya realized what she was talking about.
Now let’s say she was focused, because it was extremely important to skate cleanly. And when she relaxes a little… Her jumps are super stable. When she comes up, I have no doubt she will take it and jump. Even though the movement is small for a jump, she does it anyway. Once she gains confidence, she will skate differently. I wish her that, because she is a great athlete. I am sure that Zhenya Plushenko is doing everything possible to reveal her in this regard. I think she will approach the Russian Championship in optimal shape to compete for the highest places. Whether it’s ultra-si or not, she can handle it with stability and adult skating,” Bobrova quotes in the “Championship.”
The Russian Figure Skating Championship will be held from December 19 to 24, 2023 in Chelyabinsk at the Traktor Arena.
