Zagitova and Tarasova saw Valieva’s victory, but why did Plushenko’s student cry? Intriguing photos of the Grand Prix – Sport24.ru – online sports news in Russia and the world

The sixth stage of the Russian Grand Prix series took place in Moscow, completing the selection for the February Spartakiad. As in Krasnoyarsk, all four species were represented in the program.

In the singles tournament, several ultras were expected at once, but the audience only saw clean attempts during the warm-ups. But if Kamila Valieva managed to retain gold, then Sofya Muravyova moved to third position – silver went to Veronica Yametova. Among the men, as two weeks earlier, Vladislav Dikidzhi again became the king, but he had only recently returned to training after illness. Mark Kondratyuk settled in second place, bronze went to Daniil Samsonov.

In pairs and dances, victories went to the favorites: Alexandra Boykova/Dmitry Kozlovsky and Alexandra Stepanova/Ivan Bukin skated almost flawlessly and simultaneously broke through the world “sizn bests”. We also note that in the dance tournament, absolutely all of Alexander Zhulin’s students formed the podium – silver for Elizaveta Shanaeva/Pavel Drozd, bronze for Sofia Tyutyunina/Matvey Grachev. Well, in pairs, the company of Boykova/Kozlovsky was Natalya Khabibullina/Ilya Knyazhuk and Yulia Artemyeva/Alexey Bryukhanov.
