Former Canadian skaters Asher Hill and Dylan Moskovich have compared the 2022 Beijing Olympics to the Russian championship. Their words are available on the CBC Sports YouTube channel.
The Canadians unanimously agreed that the entire podium in the women’s tournament at the Olympics will be occupied by Russian figure skaters. “They will sweep away everyone. Kamila Valieva is a new phenomenon. I think she is very special, ”Hill said. The ex-skater admired the fact that the 15-year-old athlete actually competes with herself and breaks her own world records.
Moskovich agreed with Hill that the reigning world champion Anna Shcherbakova would get the silver in this fight. In his opinion, the skater is stable and has a solid set of quadruple jumps, which puts her in second place in the season.
In third place, the skaters put Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. “She has never been to the Games, but she deserves it. And Olympiada deserves to see her magical hand movements, ”said Hill.
The Winter Olympics in Beijing will be held from 4 to 20 February 2022.
