About the program

In May, Kozlovskii thanked Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviski for making the pair's new free skate, as Sports.ru and Ridus reported. The same duo made their previous free. This one is a Carmen, set to Ryan Otter's Prologue, Carmen Is Here and Fatality plus Bizet's Habanera. It scored 121.81 at the Grand Prix de France.

The neutral athletes (AIN) went for a throw quad Salchow, and Boikova fell. She then doubled the triple toe. The triple Salchow-double Axel, the level-3 twist and the lifts held up. Boikova called the throw "an awful attempt actually."

Fans on r/FigureSkating reckoned a clean throw quad and triple toe would have won them the event. Several agreed with a commentator that the program was thin on choreography.
