Represent Georgia Anastasia Gubanova perhaps much more than the figure skater showed at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, said Alena Leonova, silver medalist at the 2012 World Championships in women’s single skating.
2023 European champion Anastasia Gubanova took 13th place with 182.42 points. Japanese figure skater Kaori Sakamoto won the tournament with a score of 222.96 points.
“I was surprised by Nastya Gubanova, who could have fought for high places, but, unfortunately, was left without a stunt in the short program. If she, like Adam Xiao Him Fa, had succeeded in quadruples, then she would have gotten on the podium, but here the situation was hopeless, especially since the free program was not without its rough edges. It’s a shame, because knowing Nastya and seeing her in training, I understand that she can do much more. But everyone has nerves, we are not robots and we are not safe from anything.
Did psychology have an effect? Psychology, only if it comes from the other side, so as not to disappoint anyone. But I’m glad that she skated well at the European Championships and, in general, she still has at least a little sweetness from the season,” Leonova quotes in “Championship”.
