MOSCOW, January 13, Sergey Pogrebnyak. Coach Alexander Zhulin believes that mistakes Russian figure skaters Alexandra Trusova and Anna Shcherbakova in the short program at the European Championships should not affect their chances of winning medals. Russian Kamila Valieva leads the short program at the European Championships with a world record score of 90.45 points. The second is the Belgian athlete Luna Hendrix, who scored 76.25 points. Alexandra Trusova is third with 75.13 points, Anna Shcherbakova is fourth (69.05). Trusova and Shcherbakova performed their short programs with falls. «Valieva skated just brilliantly! Two of our other girls made a mistake on the jumps, but this does not mean anything. I am sure that after the free program everything will fall into place and the entire pedestal at the European Championships will be ours. I really hope that I will not be mistaken with such a forecast, «said Zhulin. The figure skaters will present their free programs at the European Championships on Saturday, January 15th.
