The official shared her expectations from the free program for single skaters
State Duma Deputy Svetlana Zhurova believes that Russian figure skaters are able to take the entire podium at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
“In the case of clean skates, the judges will not be able to show us anything and there will be an indisputable Russian pedestal. All three of our girls are capable of winning the Olympics, so I believe in such an outcome. Moreover, we saw this at the World and European Championships. Let’s repeat here, ”Zhurova quotes Sport24.
