Alexander BokulevDeputy Head of the Editorial Board SportAll materialsWitnessing an epoch-making evening that went down in the history of world sports is worth a lot. This is a tangle of irretrievably spent nerves and a scorched emptiness inside after you forever leave a part of yourself somewhere above the ice of the Beijing arena, where Anna Shcherbakova, Alexandra Trusova and Kamila Valieva gave everything, but received very different things. I want to scream, even howl as if . Still, figure skating knows how to make a beast out of a man, remaining one of the most aesthetic sports. And art, of course. Including the art of drama. Women's single skating is her stronghold. It seems that if peace and harmony suddenly start a liberation campaign around the world, then they will not take this bastion. Passion and pain, glory and disappointment, intrigue and slyness hold the defense too tightly there. Even if the calm cunningly lulls, then it’s worth waiting for a hurricane. We all quite calmly looked forward to the singles competitions at the Olympics until the beginning of February, didn’t we? The Russian pedestal there seemed to be a matter of technique. And components, of course, where without them.
