15-year-old figure skater Kamila Valieva, who on Saturday, December 25, became the champion of Russia in women’s single skating, thanked the coaches for her success. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
“I am very glad that I skated both programs cleanly. Thanks to the coaches who put up with me in training, ”Valieva said in an express interview with Alina Zagitova.
For her free skating, the skater received 193.10 points. In total, she scored 283.48 points. Valieva broke her own world records in terms of points scored in a free program and in the sum of two programs. The world record will not be officially ratified, as the International Skating Union (ISU) does not take into account the results at national tournaments.
The second place was taken by Alexandra Trusova (248.65). The reigning world champion Anna Shcherbakova (239.56) became the bronze medalist.
Alexandra Trusova said that her sheepskin coat did not work out, but overall she was satisfied with her performance.
Anna Shcherbakova said that “she understands what needs to be worked on in order to show the result better in the next rentals”.
Earlier on the same day, it became known that the reigning world champions in figure skating Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov won gold medals in the competition of sports pairs at the Russian championship.
For their free program, the couple received 160.00 points and scored a total of 243.74 points.
The Russian Figure Skating Championship was held in St. Petersburg from 23 to 25 December.
