“I am happy with Akatieva’s victory because it is a victory for pure sport.” Valieva conceded – is everything fair?

The main start of the figure season – the Russian Championship – finished loudly in Krasnoyarsk: historical equality in points among the male leaders, the country’s best dancers with constant falls, revenge in pairs and, of course, the overthrow of Valieva, who was not helped by the restored quads.

Pavel Kopachev , Polina Krutikhina , Ivan Kuznetsov and Nastya Zhavoronkova comprehended all this, forgetting about those who for some reason did not go on the ice in Krasnoyarsk: Trusova, Kolyada, Davis / Smolkin. Can you guess who got hit hard and who got only applause?
