Russia signs a hat-trick in the category: behind Mishina and Galliamov (239.82 points), their compatriots Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov are silver medalists (236.43) and Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kozlovskii bronze (227.23) .
Within reach of the 2022 Olympics, Mishina (20) and Galliamov (22), undefeated this winter and already in the lead after the short program, thus reaffirm their status as contenders for Olympic gold.
And the young Russians, who were taking part in the European competition for the first time, did it with style: the day after the short program, they improved the world record for the free program (157.46 against 155.60 ) and that of the total score.
The Chinese Wenjing Sui and Cong Han held these two reference brands until Thursday evening.
Tarasova and Morozov go up to 27 for her and 29 for him on their seventh consecutive European podium, for the third time in a row on the second step, after being titled twice in 2017 and 2018.
Outgoing European champions, Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kozlovskii rank third this time, as at the Worlds-2021 last March.
In 2021, the continental meeting had been canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The French Camille and Pavel Kovalev finished in fourteenth place, with 156.55 points, a new personal best.
Coline Keriven and Noël-Antoine Pierre had not passed the cut of the short program the day before.
