What next for the Russian women? While Russian skating continues to go from strength to strength, the ladies’ race might be as intriguing as ever, with Kostornaia, Trusova, and Shcherbakova having been the breakout stars of last season and now Tuktamysheva with another win herself.
Medvedeva has been hindered by a bad back, and her COVID diagnosis means she is running out of time as far as this season is concerned.
PyeongChang 2018 gold medallist Alina Zagitova will not compete this year, but she gave her fans plenty to cheer with her performance in Sunday's gala in Moscow.
The 18-year-old is currently hosting a skating show on Russian TV and remaining tight-lipped as to whether she’ll hit competitive ice again, though she certainly hasn’t ruled it out.
World junior champion Kamila Valieva also performed in the exhibition ahead of competing against Kostornaia and Tuktamysheva in the fifth stage of the Cup of Russia from 5-8 December.
Valieva, 14, will be eligible for senior competition next season enabling her to take part in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
