Olympic medalist in figure skating Alexandre Enbert said that the victory of Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin in ice dancing at the Russian Championships in Chelyabinsk is not a sensation.
Stepanova/Bukin won the Russian Championship with a total of 217.72 points. In March, it became known about the transfer of skaters to Alexander Zhulin’s group. The couple missed last season due to the birth of Stepanova’s child.
— In ice dancing, we saw throughout the season that the Stepanova/Bukin couple was the leader. They won gold medals absolutely purely and deservedly. This couple proves for the third time in a row that they are number one in Russia. There’s no feeling here, everyone expected them to win.
The Khudaiberdieva/Bazin pair are fighting for first place, they still have work to do. But compared to world figure skating, they are a very young couple. Of course, they are progressing, progress is expected of them. They have a lot of work to do, we will see this progress year after year, it is thanks to Alexander Zhulin. The main fight takes place for third place, the Khavronina/Narizhny duo looked stronger than the others and deservedly won bronze,” Enbert said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
