The gold-medal battle in women’s single skating between Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva has become the main decoration of another competition day. The spectators in the stands of the Gangneung Ice Arena saw something that happens extremely rarely. Two skaters scored the same amount of points in the free program – 156,65. As a result, the places on the pedestal were distributed based on the results of the short program. Zagitova took first place, Medvedeva took second place and Canadian Kaetlyn Osmond took third place.
The Olympic Games are always full of dramatic situations. And Pyeongchang 2018 was no exception. But, perhaps, for the first time at the Games in Korea, our fans were faced with a dilemma. Whom to root for?
Medvedeva or Zagitova? Everyone has his own answer to this question. And you can argue forever.
