European Figure Skating champion Niina Petrõkina was given a warm welcome at Tallinn Airport after arriving home on Monday, fresh from her victory in Sheffield.
Petrõkina, who won European Championship gold for the first time in Tallinn last year, got off to a flying start in the short program at the European Championships in Sheffield last weekend. The Estonian improved on her previous personal best by more than one and a half points.
