STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Anna Shcherbakova led a Russian sweep of the women's singles medals at the figure skating world championships on Friday. Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, the 2015 world champion and now 24, took silver (220.46) with two triple Axels in her free skating programme. The trio skated as FSR athletes under the flag of the Russian figure skating federation. It was the first women's podium sweep since the U.S. team of Kristi Yamaguchi, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan won all three medals in 1991. I'm not satisfied with my performance, but I'm so happy that I'm first," said Shcherbakova.
