Senior Championships
The list of entries was announced on 13 December 2012.[4] Yulia Lipnitskaya, Polina Shelepen, and Uliana Titushkina withdrew from the ladies' event to recover from injuries and were replaced by the three reserves, Tatiana Fedoseeva, Julia Li, and Nikol Gosviani. Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larionov withdrew from the pairs' event. Aleksandr Gorshkov said that Larionov had boot problems and could not endanger his partner.[5] They were replaced by Anastasia A. Gubanova / Alexei Sintsov. Artem Borodulin withdrew from the men's event and was replaced by Adian Pitkeev. Kristina Gorshkova / Vitali Butikov withdrew from the ice dancing event but were not replaced due to a lack of reserves. Officials decided to test a new security system involving a background check at the event.[6] A couple of minor earthquakes occurred in Sochi but not during any skating. One occurred before the event.[7] Another quake occurred at 2:30 am on 26 December[8][9] – its epicenter was more than 150 kilometers (93 miles) away in the Black Sea.[10]
Evgeni Plushenko took the lead in the men's short program, with Sergei Voronov and Maxim Kovtun in second and third respectively.[8] Plushenko also placed first in the free skating and took his 10th national title, while Voronov took silver and Konstantin Menshov the bronze.[11][12]
Ekaterina Bobrova / Dmitri Soloviev were first in the short dance, followed by Elena Ilinykh / Nikita Katsalapov and Ksenia Monko / Kirill Khaliavin.[13] Bobrova / Soloviev also placed first in the free dance and won their third national title, while Ilinykh / Katsalapov repeated as silver medalists and Ekaterina Riazanova / Ilia Tkachenko as bronze medalists.[12][14]
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva took the lead in the ladies' short program ahead of three-time champion Adelina Sotnikova and Elena Radionova.[9] Tuktamysheva fell ill before the free skating and her coach Alexei Mishin initially indicated that she would withdraw, but later she and her team decided she would compete. Tuktamysheva said, "I might find myself in an even worse situation in the future. I have to know how to handle it, so we decided to skate."[15] She won her first national title, while Radionova won silver in her second appearance at the event and Sotnikova took the bronze.[12][15]
