Athletistic/Figure skating. Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova said in an interview with Match TV that the leaders of the men’s singles tournament of the European Championship do not reach the level of skaters who competed at the Russian Championship.

After the short program at the competition in Kaunas (Lithuania), Frenchman Adam Xiao Him Fa took first place with 94.13 points. At the Russian Championships in December, the top 3 in the short program looked like this: Vladislav Dikidzhi – 102.70 points, Evgeny Semenenko – 101.19 points, Dmitry Aliev – 99.20 points.

Evaluating the level of performance, Tarasova pointed out that at the Russian Championship, several athletes perform two quadruple jumps in the short program. At the European Championship, many lack technical skills and lose in this parameter, not reaching the level of performances shown at the Russian Championship.
