This happened in the short program at the tournament in Graz, which the athlete won with a score of 84.92 points.

Among European skaters, in addition to the Kostorny triple axel, only Russians Lyudmila Nelidina and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva performed at international competitions. However, Nelidina never participated in the continental championship, and Tuktamysheva did not include him in her programs.

Previously, figure skater Alexandra Trusova set a personal record in the short program at the European Championships.
