The current European champion Alina Zagitova has made progress this season and at pure hire she should not concede on double Olympic champion of 2018 double world champion Evgenia Medvedeva, the silver prize-winner of the world championship of 2012 Алена Леонова has declared RIA Novosti. Medvedeva and Zagitova, as well as the silver medalist of the December Russian Championship Maria Sotskova, will perform at the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang in the status of "Olympic athletes from Russia." "In my opinion, all three Russian participants are able to take the pedestal of the Olympic Games," said Leonova on the phone. "If you evaluate the complexity of programs, then Alina Zagitova is the best, because she jumps the most complicated cascade (triple lutz - triple rytberger), and so as she deserved this season to have high "components." She already has a name in figure skating, I think she will be on a par with other leaders in terms of a "second assessment." If she does everything, she can reach out to gold. " The agency believes that Zagitova should not give in the component assessment of Medvedeva. "I would say this: of all three of our girls, the one who will have stronger nerves will win, and if someone does not succeed, then, in my opinion, only nerves will cause this," Leonova added.
