2015 world figure skating champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva left a very pleasant impression at the show program tournament, her second place is not so important, said Honored Coach of Russia Tatyana Mishina.
Tuktamysheva on Saturday became second in the tournament of the show program “Russian Challenge” in St. Petersburg. The victory was won by Olympic champion Alexey Yagudin.
“It is very good and honorable that she became second.” Somehow Yagudin was expected to be first. The main thing is the impressions she left. I think that’s the main thing here. The reception and reaction of the public to such a performance cost no less.
— Many fans were unhappy with the jury’s assessment. What do you think?
— Here we have to ask a question to the organizers. In other words, not everything has been thought of. There was a slight flaw here, as the judges want to give the prize to whoever they want. But it happened differently. But that’s a question for the organizers. And so, the spectacle was grandiose, beautiful, marvelous. We really liked it,” Mishina told .
The winner of the tournament received 5 million rubles, 3 million for second place and 1 million for third place.
