Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova told that she was happy that Adélia Petrossian performed the axel cleanly in the short program of the fourth stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow.
The competition began on Saturday. Petrosyan scored 86.37 points and is in first place after the short program in the women’s competition. Second – Daria Sadkova (71.59), third – Ksenia Gushchina (71.02). The world record for points in the short program belongs to Kamila Valieva and is 87.42 points. In January 2022, Valieva scored 90.45 points in the short program at the European Championships, but she was later disqualified for violating anti-doping rules and her results, including this one, were annulled.
— I am very satisfied with Adelia Petrosyan’s performance. She always improves with each start. I’m very happy that she did the axel in three and a half turns. His short program was very reliable, as it should be.
— 86.37 points for the short, Valieva’s record is 1.05 more. Can Petrosyan beat him?
— I wouldn’t think about these points at all. The main thing is that she skated masterfully,” Tarasova told .
The skaters will present their free programs on Sunday.
