I have a genuine question about the vicotry ceremony for ladies. I have been watching figure skating for some years now and noticed that there is an unspoken "rule" that after the medal ceremony skaters go greet and thank the audience and the winner basically always goes first. I always thought it's nice and just common courtesy and manners to let the winner go first at least for the first round. I even rewatched some finals to check if I remember it right and I am definitely correct on this. I always liked Evgenia, she seems like a sweet person and a pretty good skater so I have to say it struck me as incredibly rude of her to spring off the podium and run to go greet the audience first... She did not even look behind her If the winner is following, she did not let Alina go first, she went really fast and never looked back. Honestly I am somewhat dissapointed with that behavior. Do somebody have any idea why she did that?
