2021 world champion Aleksandr Galliamov, who competes with Anastasia Mishina, shared his thoughts on the results of the 2026 Milan Olympics. Here’s a translation.
The gold was won by Japan’s Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, who scored a total of 231.24 points and set a new world record in the free skate with 158.13. The previous record was set in 2022 by Mishina and Galliamov (157.46).
“Q: Dmitri Kozlovskii noted that the Japanese skaters didn’t deserve the scores with which they broke your record. Do you think the Japanese outperformed your program?
Aleksandr Galliamov: Winners are not judged. The pair had a clean skate, so everyone has their own opinion and draws their own conclusions. They skated absolutely well, and I congratulate them.
Anastaiia Mishina: It should also be noted that our record was set in the 2021/2022 season, when the judging system was different and there was no cascade with two double Axels. We had a Salchow–Euler–Salchow combination, which is worth less.”
