Former Russian figure skater Betina Popova considers the performances of Gabriela Papadakis and Guillaume Sizeron, as well as Madison Chalk and Evan Bates, to be the most memorable performances of the 2021/22 season in ice dancing.
— Rhythm dance by Gabriela Papadakis and Guillaume Sizeron, free dance by Madison Chalk and Evan Bates, quality program by Nathan Chen. In pairs, the Chinese have simply amazing performances: even if you take twists, throws and jumps from them and insert twizzles and small lifts, you can’t say that the talons are skating, not the dancers – programs as rich and of high quality. And in the women’s singles I will not say that there were bright images. But unexpectedly, the coolest program for me is the Japanese skater’s “Lion King” (Wakaba Higuchi – about “”), Betina Popova told the championship.
Popova is 25 years old. Together with Sergey Mozgov, she became the winner of the Universiade (2019), the silver medalist of the Russian Cup (2017, 2019) and a participant in the Grand Prix tournaments (2017-2019). Popova ended her competitive career in 2020.
