“Petrosyan is technically superior to everyone, and in terms of skating quality he is not inferior to anyone. His victory in the Czech Republic was not surprising” – Enbert

Olympic silver medalist Alexandre Enbert told that the victory Adélii Petrossian at the Russian Championship does not surprise him, since the skater surpasses everyone technically and is not inferior to anyone in terms of skating quality.

On Saturday, Petrosyan won the Russian championship. Student Eteri Tutberidze, who was in second place after the short program, scored 167.47 points in the free program and won with a score of 246.53 points. Second place was Sofia Muravyova from Plushenko Academy of Angels (239.40). Olympic champion Kamila Valieva from the Tutberidze group (237.99), who was in the lead after the short program, completed the top three.

— I was not surprised by Adelia Petrosyan’s victory. Even before the Russian Championship, I was betting on his success. This season she surpasses everyone in technical terms and in terms of skating quality she is not inferior to anyone. The fact that Adelia opted for three quadruples is also not surprising. She is a master of the sheepskin coat. Yes, the flip in the free skate didn’t work, but I’m sure she can do it in practice. Petrosyan’s victory is therefore completely natural.

— Is it a sensation that Kamila Valieva only finished third with a mistake in the quadruple jump?

“I thought Kamila would be second, but I have to say Sonya Muravyova worked all season to get this silver medal. She tried doing triple axels in previous tournaments, but it didn’t work. It seems to me that this is a story about the fact that you have to try the elements of “ultra-si”, you have to get there gradually. In the end, this work, when we try but fail, bears fruit and works as a plus. Muravyova stabilized her triple axel just in time and took it to the Russian Championships. Of course, it has excellent component skating and the overall complexity of the content is quite high. His second place is therefore natural. Camila remains third. We saw that the missed quadruple shearling coat in the free skate played an important role in the distribution of places,” Enbert told .

Petrosyan is 16 years old, this is the first Russian champion title of her career. This season the athlete won two stages of the Russian Grand Prix series.
