During her Olympic debut at the Milano Cortina Games, Estonian figure skater Niina Petrõkina performed two beautiful routines, earning a total score of 210.82, which secured her a seventh-place finish. She expressed her happiness in accomplishing all her planned elements and described the experience of competing at the Olympics as enjoyable and fulfilling. With 141.19 points scored in her free program, Petrõkina emphasized feeling the Olympic atmosphere and engaging with her performance on a deeper level.

In her post-performance interview with ERR, she reflected on the advice given by her choreographer, Alina Boyko, which emphasized maintaining control of her body and movements. Petrõkina shared that while she allowed herself to enjoy the performance towards the end, she remained mindful of her execution, recognizing the potential for mistakes. Her dedication to focus throughout the routine was a challenge as she had to concentrate intensely for the entirety of the four minutes, a feat she successfully managed.

Petrõkina's commitment and hard work were evident, as she had performed similar routines just a month earlier, setting the stage for her Olympic performance. Her ambitious goals suggest that she is keen to continue improving and climbing higher in the competitive ranks of figure skating.
