Yelena Radionova leads Russian sweep at Rostelecom Cup
Russian Yelena Radionova led the first Grand Prix women’s podium sweep by one nation since 2008 at Rostelecom Cup on Saturday.
Radionova, World junior champion Yevgenia Medvedeva and Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova topped the standings in the Moscow event following the free skate.
The last women’s Grand Prix podium sweep was by Japan at 2008 NHK Trophy.
Radionova, the leader after Friday’s short program, performed a clean free skate with seven triple jumps to notch her third career Grand Prix title. Her 211.32 total points are the highest by any skater since Mao Asada won the March 2014 World Championship.
