World champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva shared her thoughts on the reduction of jump elements in the free program from seven to six. Here’s a translation of her comments.

“I feel calm about it. I think any changes are always interesting. It will be interesting to see how athletes handle this next season. Only after we see the first few years will we understand whether it was the right decision or not.

I think programs may indeed become richer artistically and in terms of components, because there will be more time to show the artistic image.
