The first competitive day of the european championship in figure skating passed in minsk. Among women after a short program, the first two places are occupied by russians – alina zagitova and sophia samodurova.

As expected experts, the best result showed the gold medalist of the olympic games alina zagitova – 75 points. Through the frontier of 80 points she did not give small technical flaws. As an athlete itself told the media, she did not arrange a triple flip. And indeed, the figure skater dropped after the jump is sufficiently rude.

The second place after the rental was for sophia savorov – 72,88. Now the ward alexey mishina – the only real competitor is grated on this tournament. By the way, the score for the technique of sofia was higher.

But the third place has become a small surprise. Most experts believed that it would also remain outside russian athletes, but stanislav konstantinov had a lot nervous and eventually allowed several mistakes. The girl fell after a double jump. As a result – 11th place with 56.76 points. The athlete was very upset because of such a result and could not keep the tears immediately after the rental.

It is worth noting that at the championship of russia, which part-time was a qualifying stage for this tournament, zagitova was also the best after a short program, but errs in arbitrary dismissed it from the first places.
