The European Figure Skating Championships kicked off today (Thursday) in Tallinn, Estonia, with the participation of Israeli Taylor Morris, who failed to reach the final.
The 21-year-old Morris, climbed to the surface in the first group and scored 46.60 points in the short exercise, which ranked her in 30th place overall, with only the top 24 advancing to the finals, where they will present their free exercise, which will be crowned medalists.
By the way, the one leading the competition is Russia's Camilla and Alba, who won the national championship earlier this month and one of the names mentioned for those who will win Olympic gold, all that she is only 15 years old.
As you may recall, as first reported in Israel Today, earlier this week most of the Israeli team canceled their participation, just before they were scheduled to board the flight, due to a number of cases of Corona virus infection.
The team also includes three athletes scheduled to take part in the Beijing Winter Olympics in 21 days, including their former European runner-up Alexei Bichenko and duo Yevgeny Krasnopolsky and Haley Cops, with the championship being the last major preparation for the real thing.

In addition, the duo Maria Nosovitskaya and Mikhail Nosovitsky, who train together with the Olympic team in New Jersey in the United States and the young talent Mark Gordinecki, who trains in Canada, were also present, but his coach also stuck with Corona and decided not to take him out alone.
In the last day, some of the team has returned to training, to continue preparations for the Winter Olympics and for the rest of the season, where the World Championships are also scheduled to take place.
