“I am completely satisfied with my performance today, although there were some little mistakes like in the short program yesterday,” Pogorilaya said. “I’m also extremely happy to go to the Grand Prix Final again. Honestly, I don’t even know when and where it takes place as I haven’t discussed it yet with my coach. Most of all, I’m happy to have skated well in both my Grand Prix events which allowed me to go further.”
