Athletistic / Figure skating. Well-known commentator Andrei Zhurankov shared his opinion on the tournament judging of the Russian Challenge show program. The competition took place in St. Petersburg on March 9.

Olympic champion Alexey Yagudin won for the second year in a row. World and European champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva took second place. Arbitration has become the subject of heated debate.

“Everything was going great until they started rating it. Sorry guys, it’s just a shame. It’s a failure. To do 3 hours and 30 minutes of incredible action and then kill everything during 30 minutes It was terrible.

Choreographer Zheleznyakov responded to Tarasova’s comments, which held Tutberidze responsible for the Valieva affair

The production group was forced to work with the judges and explain everything to them. Because when they started grading, it became clear that they didn’t have uniform criteria. At all. They did not understand what principle they would bet on,” Zhurankov quotes in the Championship.
