“We saw interesting performances and appreciated the girls’ skating” – Leonova about the singles competitions this season

World Figure Skating Championships silver medalist Alena Leonova shared her thoughts on the singles competition this season.

— What impressions did the girls’ competition make on you? Many say that due to the disappearance of ultra-si, there is less entertainment. Do you agree with this?

— But there is more skating, more aesthetics, more interesting programs. It seems to me that there are now as many quadruples as we need. At each stage, someone tried something, but there was no race of quadruples: who could do the most, and so on. Everyone skated according to their own strength, and those who could did what they could. The main thing is that we saw interesting performances and enjoyed the girls’ skating. There is always competition, there are struggles. It will be very interesting to see this at the Russian Championship. Even taking into account that it is not eight people, as usual, who will make quadruples, but only the first three,” Leonova said in “Championship”.

The Russian Figure Skating Championship will be held in Chelyabinsk from December 20 to 24.
