Russian figure skater Elena Radionova was worthy of getting into the top three prize-winners of the Moscow Grand Prix stage in figure skating. This opinion was expressed by the world champion and two-time European champion in pair skating Alexei Tikhonov, whose words are quoted by Gazeta.Ru . The first place in the competition was taken by Russian Evgenia Medvedeva. The second was Italian Carolina Costner, the third was Japanese Wakaba Higuti. Radionova took fourth place. "I was very upset at this stage of the Grand Prix for Lena, she perfectly skated the free program, but she was prevented from falling from the triple jump when she slipped from the start, and there was no time to repeat this element anymore. that Radionova did not get into the top three prize-winners - she was worth it, "Tikhonov said. Radionova is the winner of the Winter Universiade in 2017 in Alma-Ata, she also twice became vice-champion of Europe (2015, 2016).
