Athletistic/ Figure skating. Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova said that Sofya Muravyova will perform much better at the upcoming Russian championship than at the sixth stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow.

“Sofia in the free program was not the Muravyova we know. She is generally a very strong athlete, she jumps very well. At the Grand Prix stage in Moscow, she overdid it, apparently she wanted really showing off. But it’s possible the coaches overdid it.

You will see that at the Russian Championships, Muravyova will be a hundred times better, because she is a very good figure skater. It has good quality elements,” said Tarasova, quoted by RIA Novosti Sport.

Sofya Muravyova took the final third place during the Russian Grand Prix stage in Moscow. Olympic champion Kamila Valieva won, and Veronika Yametova took second place.

The Russian Figure Skating Championship will take place from December 20 to 24 in Chelyabinsk.
