The first women tried ice, among whom the Lithuanian Elžbieta Kropa performed the short program.
The 21-year-old from Vilnius, who is participating in the planet championship for the fourth time, chose the song “Feeling Good” remade by Avicii.
After the show, the Lithuanian did not feel well, although he avoided falling, made a mistake when taking more difficult jumps and was satisfied with 41.31 points.
Among the 37 participants who appeared on the ice, E. Kropa was the last. The free program will be performed by the 24 strongest skaters on Friday.
Ana Shcherbakova, representative of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FSR), directs the short program. Eteri Tutberidze’s pupil, 16, improved her personal record by making her debut in the championships: 81 points.
Japan’s Rika Kihira is in second place (79.08 points), followed by another FSR skater, Jelizaveta Tuktamyševa (78.86 points).
The title in Stockholm is not defended by Russia’s Alina Zagitova, who at least temporarily suspended her career last year.
Following the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling on doping scandals to ban Russian symbols from the international arena, some of the championship favorites participate in the championship without their flag or anthem.
The medals will be awarded to the women on Friday. On the same day, the only Lithuanian couple Allison Reed and Saulius Ambrulevičius will begin their performance in the ice dance competition, who will perform a foxtrot and quixstep dance according to the Broadway musical “Bandtsant” in their short program.
In the free show, the duo will perform based on works by Aurora Churchyard, It All Happened Quiet, and Soft Universe.
