Tatiana Tarasova evaluated the men’s short programs at the Russian Grand Prix Final. Petr Gumennik is in first place, Nikolai Ugozhaev is second, and Vladislav Dikidji is third.
“I’m very glad that we have such a young man in our country who came back from a grueling Olympic Games, where he was tortured, mocked, and everything was forbidden. He came to our wonderful competition, where you can see real work. Here, our best skaters are performing. Petr won by a large margin and skated his program beautifully, even though it had been canceled. I’m very impressed by his actions. Many thanks to him and his coach for not taking a break, but coming to our competition instead.”
