(Beijing Winter Olympics) Figure Skating Women's Singles Remake "Pyeongchang Plot" Russian Olympic team players won the championship and runners-up
Beijing, February 17 (China News Service) -- Just like the "same door dispute" between Zagitova and Medvedeva staged at the Pyeongchang Arena four years ago, the gold medal in figure skating women's singles at the Beijing Winter Olympics is also a "civil war" for the Russian Olympic Committee.

On the evening of the 17th, Anna Serbakova won the gold medal with a total score of 255.95 points with better completion and rich performance. Alexandra Trusova, who came out in the same category and ranked No. 4 after the short show, won the silver medal with her jaw-dropping multiple "four-around jumps".
"I didn't realize my Winter Olympics were over." Sherbakova said that after each competition, she focused on how to complete the action more perfectly, and her past experience helped her win the championship.
Speaking of winning gold, Serbakova said that the matter is so important that she still does not fully understand what this means, and can be sure that happiness is really felt from the figure skating project. She also thanked her parents and other family members, "who may be more nervous than I am," she says with a smile.
Trusova, who did five "four-around jumps" in one go in the free skating competition, said it took her a long time to develop her "stunt" and was happy to be able to show it at the Winter Olympics.

After Pyeongchang, the Russian Olympic Committee players won the Women's Singles Championships of the Winter Olympics. However, camilla Vallieva, another hopeful gold medalist who ranked No. 1 in the short program, made repeated mistakes in the free skating competition, and the final result was only 224.09 points, which missed the podium. When the results were announced, the girl, who was not yet 16 years old, sat in the waiting area and cried for a long time.
Japan's Hanaori Sakamoto won a bronze medal, breaking the monopoly of the Russian "nesting doll" on the top three. "I was so surprised that I couldn't confirm the score after seeing it. I didn't expect to get a bronze medal in the individual. Hanori Sakamoto said that he didn't know what to say except to be happy.

It should be pointed out that due to The doping problem, the IOC said before the game that "Vallieva's results at the Winter Olympics will be regarded as preliminary results and subject to further investigation", and if Vallieva wins the top 3 places in women's singles, the women's singles award ceremony will not be held during the Beijing Winter Olympics.
But Invaleva ranked 4th in the women's singles, and on the evening of the 17th, a souvenir awarding ceremony was held on the spot, and the girls were in love with the "Golden Pier". Zagitova and Medvedeva, as the commentators of the match, also stood in the stands to witness the "coronation" of her sister. (End)
