FIGURE SKATING. RUSSIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
December 16, 1997

The Russian Figure Skating Championships were held at the Sokolniki Sports Palace in Moscow. It was a very important tournament—a qualifying event for the European Championships in Milan (January 11–18, 1998). The Winter Games in Nagano were also, of course, in the crosshairs. The final Winter Games roster will be announced after the Milan competition.

Marina Yeltsova and Andrei Bushkov, Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze, and Oksana Kazakova and Artur Dmitriev skated nearly evenly. And today, it's safe to say: each of these pairs will certainly be contenders for the top award!
