Figure skater Andrei Ejlov performing in ice dancing in duet with Sofia Shevchenko told that French singles skater Adam Xiao Him Fa influenced the International Skating Union’s (ISU) decision to legalize the somersault.
Earlier, the ISU Congress in Las Vegas recognized the somersault as a permitted element in figure skating. Yezhlov previously performed a somersault after completing a free dance at the 2023 Russian Championships. Adam Xiao Him Fa has performed this acrobatic element several times.
