Bringing this over from FSO because I thought it was nice -
Our majesty. Zagitova was the best in history.
In just two rentals, the Olympic champion Zagitova at the age of 16 became the best figure skater in Russian history.
Of course, nobody has canceled taste preferences, but there is an objective reality that is stupid to ignore. Figure skating is a sport, and in any sport the result is in the first place.
We do not discuss the external data and the swimmers technique, but we unconditionally recognize as the best those who first touched the side.
Zagitova is now the best single woman who has ever performed under the flag of Russia. And there will be at least another three years. Before the Olympics in Beijing.
Already in the middle of an arbitrary program at the World Championships, it became clear that Zagitova would be the first. She could have fallen, under-tightened or made an oversight at the exit, but instead she skated without a single blot. So, as befits the Olympic champion.
Now there can be no debate about who is the best Russian figure skater in history.
