Very interesting interview from Elena Vaytsekhovskaya with Maxim Trankov: http://www.sport-express.ru/se-vele...a-ispolnyal-rol-geroya-vtorogo-plana-1253018/
And translation on FSU from invaluable TAHbKA: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/in...ov-i-was-a-background-player-in-sochi.101221/
I'm very pleasantly suprised he gets along with Robin Szolkowy so well. Not suprise that he and Ksenia couldn't share the ice They are both divas
But the most suprising for me was him openly talking about reputation scoring in competitions. I mean, fans are complaining about it all the time, but were there ever skater themselves admitting that they got reputation score? And that they were winning because of that despite not skating well?
Also, very nice to hear he enjoys Javi style of skating
