“We are pleased that our couples and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva skated to their full strength and showed everything they can. Both Zabiyako with Enbert and Tuktamysheva got to the Grand Prix finals, we are pleased with this, ”quotes the general director of the FFKR.
He also noted the second place of Sergey Voronov in men's skating, adding that the 31-year-old athlete consistently shows good performances this season.
“A good result was shown by our dancing couple. Unfortunately, in free skating they dropped to fourth place and became second in terms of total, although they were first after a short dance. However, the second place at this stage is a good result, ”said Kogan.
He also praised Alexei Mishin, coach of the Tuktamyshevoy.
“She began to show good results again this season, and this is their joint achievement with Mishin. I think that they will think everything over and change something by the end, ”Kogan concluded.
