Bronze medalist of the Russian Figure Skating Championships, **[Alina Gorbacheva](https://www.example.com/tags/36629-alina-gorbachyova)**, and her coach, **Sofia Fedchenko**, cheered for Russian figure skater and two-time national champion **Adelya Petrosyan**, who triumphed at the qualifying tournament for the 2026 Olympics held in Beijing, China.

It was previously reported that the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) was considering a last-minute switch, potentially replacing Adelya Petrosyan with Alina Gorbacheva for the Olympic qualifying competition, based on Fedchenko’s suggestion.

Adelya Petrosyan secured a dedicated quota for the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan, Italy. A student of Eteri Tutberidze, she won the Olympic qualifying tournament in Beijing, amassing a total of 209.63 points across two programs. Her performance placed her among the top five figure skaters of the tournament, guaranteeing her a spot at the Olympics in Milan, scheduled for February 2026.
