Athletistic / Figure skating. Former Russian figure skater, silver medalist of the 2012 World Championship, Alena Leonova spoke about her expectations from the Russian Championship. She said she doesn’t see a leader in the Russian team, but believes Kamila Valieva is the favorite in the competition.

“In my opinion, there is no clear leader now. Of course, there will be an interesting fight at the Russian Championship. Sonya Muravyova will absolutely fight for first place, let’s not forget Adelia Petrosyan, whose program is full of quadruple jumps, she has a triple Axel, it’s going to be interesting.

The French Ice Sports Federation responded to rumors of the change of nationality of figure skaters Morozov and Eremenko

Will Valieva manage to maintain her status as leader? I think that it is possible. Why not? She will prepare and the fight for first place in the Russian Championship will just begin between Kamila, Sonya and Adelia. But it seems to me that the outcome will be unpredictable anyway, as often happens in women’s single skating,” Leonova quotes in the “Championship”.
