The final day of the Women's GP Final was held in Beijing, China on the 9th, and Kaori Sakamoto (23 = Sysmex) took her first victory with a total of 225.70 points. Hina Yoshida (18, Kinoshita Academy) placed third with a total of 203.16 points, winning the bronze medal in her first appearance.
Although the Japanese skaters made remarkable progress, there are voices questioning the current level of women's figure skating from the Russian figure skating world, which has been banned from participating in international competitions due to the invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian media ``Forbes'' has the title ``Women's skating has become boring,'' arguing that the lack of Russian skaters has led to a noticeable decline in the level of skating. "During the era when Russian single skaters were dominant, this event was extremely popular. However, in the absence of Russian skaters, the level of women's single skating around the world has declined significantly," he said harshly.
Regarding this GP Final, he also gave a low rating, saying, ``There were no difficult jumps in Beijing, bronze medalist Yoshida didn't land a triple axel, and there were a huge number of mistakes.'' He said that he did not deserve a bronze medal.
On top of that, Medvedeva's commentary is posted. The former world queen said: "Honestly, I'm upset about this level. We've really raised the level of women's figure skating for years. So many of us have elevated and elevated skating on so many different levels. "We have raised the bar even further," he said, emphasizing the contribution of Russian skaters to the world of figure skating. She then dismissed the players who participated in the Women's GP Final by saying, ``They gave me a salty impression.''
