Russian figure skater Pyotr Gumennik's performance at the Olympic Games in Milan was one of the best of his career. On February 14, figure skating coach Alexey Mishin told Izvestia.

"Petya Gumennik's performance should be called when "the right thing was done at the right time." I think this performance at the Olympics was one of the best of his career," he said.

According to him, in another starting situation, the athlete's result could have been much higher. Mishin stressed that the importance of this hire goes beyond personal achievement — Humennik's vivid performance showed that Russian figure skating is "lively, strong and worthy."

On February 13, at the Olympic Games in Italy, Humennik performed a clean free skate and scored 184.49 points. He performed at number 13. The athlete managed to perform flip, lutz, Rittberger and double Salchow — in a cascade with a triple toe loop and in combination with two double axels. According to the results of the competition, Humennik took the sixth place.

Later, Olympic speed skating champion, State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova noted that the jury had unfairly evaluated Humennik's performance. Zhurova stressed that similar situations had already happened to Russian athletes at previous Olympics, adding that figure skaters from Russia traditionally face stricter requirements.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
