The Hungarian duo scored 106.66 points for Thursday’s production, three times more than their best production so far, and their Olympic stake remains uncertain. In this number, 16 will be allocated entry rights to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but based on a special account, so 14th place alone does not guarantee the right of entry. The Hungarian Federation is currently awaiting confirmation from the International Federation (ISU) on whether Chtchetinina and Hungary won 10th place last year in the European Championships.
The duo of last year’s European champions Alexandra Boykova and Dmitry Kozlovsky were still in the lead after the short program, but on Thursday he was no longer able to skate magnificently and eventually had to win a bronze medal.
In second place in 2017 and 2019 Chinese world champion Su Wing Qing, the duo Han Cung closed.
