Standings after the short programs

At the Russian Grand Prix figure skating stage in Yekaterinburg, Adelia Petrosyan holds second place in the intermediate standings after the short programs, having scored 72.32 points. This is reported by Gazeta.Ru. The lead was taken by Kamilla NeLyubova, who cleanly landed a triple axel and received 78.67 points from the judges. Third place goes to Zlata Burya with a score of 71.14 points — the gap to Petrosyan is only 1.18 points, so the medal distribution will effectively be decided in the free program.

What's next and season context

The women's free programs will take place on November 8, with the competition starting at 14:10 Moscow time. The outlet also recalls the broader season context: on June 30, the International Skating Union (ISU) published a press release on the admission of Russian athletes to tournaments under its auspices from the 2026/27 season — in a neutral status, both in individual and team events. The decision concerns figure skating, short track, and speed skating. In addition, Alexandra Trusova previously took second place at the Grand Prix of China.
