Olympic ice dancing champion Natalia Bestemyanova believes that men’s figure skating in Russia is emerging from the shadows in terms of public interest.
On Sunday, Evgeny Semenenko won the men’s competition at the fourth stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow, scoring 301.60 points in the two-program total. Grigory Fedorov won silver (301.04), Mark Kondratyuk won bronze (289.11).
— There was a surprisingly interesting fight between men, the performances were very worthy. Semenenko is a happy, well-made guy, even with mistakes. I have a lot of respect for this athlete; even his mistakes push him to achieve a good result. Fedorov was good, an incredible amount of work was done, it’s hard to even imagine how much work went into this. In general, it seems to me that men’s competitions come out of the shadows in terms of viewer interest and to some extent even arouse more interest than women’s competitions, ”Bestemyanova told .
