Figure skater Sofya Muravyova, a student of Evgeni Plushenko, lost one point after recounting the votes in the short program at the Russian Championship in St. Petersburg. Thus, Muravyova dropped from second to third place, as follows from the updated protocol on the website of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR).
Muravyova, who initially had 81.87 points to her credit, received a result of 80.87 points, she was fined 1 point for a late start.
The first line is occupied by Kamila Valieva (90.38), the second is Anna Shcherbakova (81.46).
The winner will be determined by the sum of the short and free programs. The free skate will be skated on December 25.
Let us recall that earlier the 1988 Olympic champion in figure skating Natalya Bestemyanova admitted to Gazeta.Ru that her “greatest sadness” is the performance of Elizaveta Tuktamysheva in the short program at the Russian championship. Tuktamysheva fell from a triple axel and eventually became only seventh. Bestemyanova sympathized with the athlete, from whom they expected a better result.
Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova in a commentary to Sport-Express said that the score from Muravyova was removed according to the rules. “It is possible to do anything: revise the results both during the calculation and after. It’s better to do it than not to do it, ”Tarasova said. According to her, it is correct that Shcherbakova now takes second place.
