- Artur, this season you had a lot of starts, so it was necessary to make up for lost time in school. Returned after the World Cup in Moscow and began ...
- To learn quadruples.
-- Oh right. This is an example of girls motivating?
- Quad and boys need to be taught. So at the end of the season I concentrated on studying quadruple jumps. Began to put new programs.
- Which quads are you aiming for?
- Salchow and loop. Salchow need to teach and do anyway, I believe so. A loop ... Because I have a good triple. And somehow I asked the coaches: "Can I go, jump the quad loop?" I tried. Not bad.
Still I plan to learn a quadruple lutz, and with a toeloop and flip it is necessary to understand the technique. On the flip you need to bring the edge back into place. A toeloop is a problem for me. The most hated. Somehow it does not work out properly. For quadruple toeloop, the height is not enough. But we need to work.
- What can you tell us about the new programs?
- Long program put Nikita Mikhailov. This is a classic, in some places very "winding" program. Concerning the short, I will tell later.
The music was offered by the trainers. Although they often say to me: "If you like something, then bring it, listen." I brought one. Accidentally stumbled, I really liked it. Perhaps, under it we will make an exhibition number. The music is beautiful.
- Did the status of the winner of the World Championship change anything in you?
- I, of course, have already realized that I became a prize-winner of the junior world championship, but it does not sit in my head. You could say that I've already forgotten about it, because the training continues. The usual preparation.
The medal of the World Cup, frankly, was a surprise for me. And this silver is just the first step to my dream, only the beginning. In addition, I did not win medals at the junior stages of the Grand Prix and did not take prizes. So much remains to be done. But I liked to compete at the World Championships.
You revised your speech in Sofia?
- Once I looked all the way, and then I squandered, watched pieces. Pryzhochki. Of course, there are moments that caused me to question myself: the spins, the footwork -made at level 3, could be 4. But the free program skated clean.
- What are your plans for the new season?
- First the junior Grand Prix. At the first stage it is necessary to skate well to get the second one. After that, get into the final of the series. And there already the Russian Championship. Try to be selected for the junior world championship.
- Your group has become bigger now, new athletes have come.
-- Much bigger. Guys my age appeared. And not that it became more fun (I always take it seriously), but now I have with whom to socialize on their topics.
- And the older guys, do they help?
- Now I began to communicate more with Masha Sotskova, Lena Radionova, Sergei Voronov ... They encourage competition. After starts they congratulate. Masha always sends me voice messages, wishes good luck.
- Now you will train on the new skating rink CSKA. More ice - more opportunities to ride.
- Yes, we are told that soon we will completely pass to a new ice rink, although I'm used to the old one. The new skating rink is bright, light, it's nice to ride there. Ice is good, there are halls-choreographic, OFP, balcony with weights. ... Just work!
- From this year you will study at a Moscow school, you will save time, because it's far to Volgograd, and it's difficult .
- I graduated from the 7th grade. I went to Volgograd, took exams. Although in the seventh grade there are no exams, but I had to close all the subjects, account for the material I had passed. In Moscow, of course, with study it will be easier in the sense that the school is closer, and I think 1-2 times a week I will come, take the completed assignments, take new ones. It is important that there is a connection with the teachers so that the errors are checked, prompted.
- In the previous interview you told me that you like to cook. During this time, learned something new?
- Yes, I love to spend time in the kitchen. Learned to cook pizza with ham and cheese.
- You can probably open your restaurant with time.
-- I do not know. To be honest, I would have started cooking, but this idea is not very good for my mother.
I would like to try my hand at an acting career. Shoot in the series, because the TV shows the young people are looking more.
"You have many plans, interests." It's good.
- Yes, there are many plans, it remains to reach them. But figure skating is now on the first place, and the main tasks are related to it.
"Good luck, Arthur, and implementing all plans."
