The Russian national team is the only participant in the Olympic figure skating tournament with the maximum representation in each discipline: three singles (men), three singles (women), three pairs, and three ice dance couples. Russian athletes can expect medals in every discipline but the men's singles, where Andrei Mozalov, Evgeniy Semenenko and Mark Kondratiuk have little chance of success. However, the latter is the reigning continental champion.
But in women's singles, the Russians can take the entire podium. At the last World Championships in Stockholm, Anna Shcherbakova won gold, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva won gold, and Alexandra Trusova took bronze. At the 2022 Olympics, there will be no silver medalist from the 2021 World Cup, instead of which the 15-year-old Kamila Valieva will be competing. Still, she has already proved herself by winning the European Championship in January 2022, so there is no fear for her.
Russian pairs are also capable of competing for medals of all merits. At the last continental championship in Tallinn, Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov won the championship. Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov are right behind them, Aleksandra Boikova Dmitriy Kozlovskiy took third place. The only ones who can get in their way are the athletes from China. In the dance duos, reigning world champions Viktoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov and Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin can claim awards.
