Today, on March 4, in Tallinn (Estonia) passes the junior championship of the world in figure skating. Girls executed the short program first. The Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva is leading after the first day of competitions. Evgenia shared with her emotions after skating with the special correspondent of the TEAM RUSSIA-2014 portal Boris Hodorovsky.
- Today practically everything worked well, - told Evgenia. – There was a couple of insignificant blots. If they weren't, it wasn't necessary to work at practices.
- Was the blots the result of excitement?
- It is rather a result of unnecessary thoughts which climbed in my head before performance. I can't get rid of a habit to think in any way. I try to drive away the thoughts, but they climb even more persistently.
- Don't you regret that you skate now at junior competitions, but not adults where you could get by results of the Championship of Russia if you were one year more senior?
- I don't feel sorry for it at all. Everything is good in its time. If it is written in rules that participate in adult competitions is permitted since 15 years, I accept it. Moreover, I agree. There is another responsibility at adult competitions. And it left to wait for me is already not for a long time, I get to number of the elite in the next season.
- With whom is it more difficult for you to compete, with contemporaries or more senior competitors?
- With myself. Though I never lose to myself. Even I can't imagine how it is possible.
- How is it difficult to compete with Serafima Sakhanovich with whom you train together?
- So I just go and I do my work. I know the purpose and I go to it.
