Alexei Zheleznyakov: Gubanova may well compete for medals at the World Championships. Nice, clean skating, and there will be a result. The only thing is that she may face biased judging because everyone knows that she is Russian anyway. However, biased refereeing may not happen.
It is not easy to determine this in advance. Every judge is a person. Everyone has their own point of view and stereotypes. I can’t look into their heads. As for the prospects for the students of Eteri Tutberidze, I know that they all went prepared, and then let’s see how it goes for them. I will definitely keep an eye on their performances.
