On Saturday, March 9, the second tournament of the show program took place in St. Petersburg. The winner of this tournament, like a year ago, was the Olympic champion Alexey Yagudin. World and European champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva took second place and third place was shared by Ksenia Sinitsyna, Oksana Domnina/Maxim Shabalin and Maria Petrova/Alexey Tikhonov.
“All the numbers deserved attention. This tournament, held for the second year, plays an important role in the development of national figure skating. We see the abilities of each participant in this tournament and get to know them better than through programs officials. This “It’s another way to understand our athletes. Yesterday there were enough emotions – from sad numbers to funny numbers. Each skater showed their best qualities, and this is important,” Tarasova said in an interview with TASS.
