“Congratulations to Lisa, she is in a brilliant sporting form and showed a very good performance in the short program. The triple Axel was brilliantly and cleanly executed, ”the TASS expert quoted as saying.
At the same time, he believes that it will be difficult for the Russian woman to retain leadership in the outcome of the two programs.
“The competition is very high. If Lisa can stay in the top three, it will be a great success, ”said Averbukh.
He also added that Tuktamyshev is becoming one of the leaders of the Russian team.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian woman won a short program at the Grand Prix in Japan.
Coach Tuktamysheva Alexei Mishin expressed the opinion that the figure skater still faces the main fight.
