The Milan and Cortina Olympics has had its first glimpse of Adeliia Petrosian, the leading Russian figure skater with the controversial coach who has been allowed to compete in the women’s singles competition at the Assago Arena.
Clad in a sparkling red jacket and skating to a Michael Jackson medley that including ‘Earth Song’ and ‘They Don’t Care About Us’, Petrosian delivered a career best score of 72.89 for her short program that is likely to leave her on the fringe of medal contention in Thursday’s concluding free skate.
