The Beijing Games marks Petrosian’s second senior competition outside her home country. A three-time national champion who skates under the sobriquet ‘Miss Mystery’, she won the Skate to Milano event in China last year. Tutberidze has been seen with Petrosian in the Milan practice hall, but was not allowed rink-side on Tuesday due to her accreditation with a separate delegation. “I am very happy with my skate,” Petrosian said afterwards. For a fleeting moment, as she threw her head back and accepted the acclaim, she was simply another young girl skating her heart out to a pop song.
