​Zagitova managed set the world record despite having to miss her training session four-hour long blood and urine sampling by the demand by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) doping officers.

Medvedeva's previous record, 80.85, was set last year at the World Team Trophy in Tokyo.

The 2018 Winter Olympic Games are to end on the 25th of February with the closing ceremony.
