Figure skater Samsonov chose the best numbers of the “Russian Challenge”

Figure skater Daniel Samsonov told that he would highlight three numbers based on the tournament results based on the broadcast schedules.

On March 9, the Russian Challenge tournament took place in St. Petersburg. Alexey Yagudin became the winner for the second year in a row, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva became the second.

— When I first saw Liza Tuktamysheva’s number, I immediately said that she would be among the top three. It was a magnificent piece. Until the end, I thought that Lisa would match Alexey Yagudin on points. But that did not work. I am sure that second place is also a commendable result. Yagudin is a legend and an experience. He makes art on the ice. But I don’t want to comment on his victory. There were different opinions.

I liked Misha Kolyada. I spoke to him about it personally. When I watched his performance, I realized how much I missed Misha’s skating. I was captivated by his slides and rolls. When I saw the performance of Maria Petrova and Alexei Tikhonov during the rehearsal, I thought it would not be so interesting. But during the performance he began to play with other colors.

I can highlight these three numbers. But I won’t say anyone has a wrong number. Everyone had something to hold on to. Even those who did not receive awards left good impressions,” Samsonov told .
