“The year 2023 can be called very successful for Russian figure skating. The Russian Championship took place in conditions of fierce competition. Dikidzhi’s appearance was a brilliant event; he is ready to compete with the best athletes in the world. Joint performances between him and Gumennik are at the highest level… I will note the successful performance of Aliyev.
Vanya Bukin and Sasha Stepanova made a brilliant return to the sport, they delivered an incredible performance in their free program. Among the girls, Petrosyan was impressive, demonstrating two different quadruple jumps, but unfortunately she fell after one of them. Muravyova showed exceptional speed by executing a triple Axel in the short program. Sinitsyna overcame all difficulties, surpassed herself and turned out to be a real figure skater, possessing many skills, but so far without quadruple jumps. We have a lot of talented girls in our country, and in pairs skating we have the best in the world. Our champions Mishina and Gallyamov especially stand out for their phenomenal performance in the free program,” Tarasova noted in a conversation with “Championship” correspondent Alexander Ershov.
