Thank you so much for sharing this. She is very gracious and very articulate. I loved her answer about whether competitors having quads or 3As put her under pressure.
"You know what, everyone's thinking that this is a pressure, but opposite. Opposite. Like for me, when I'm feeling difficult to jump triples or triple-triples, I'm just looking at Sasha, I'm just looking at Anna, I'm look at these small tiny girls, they are doing quads and they are doing amazing, and I can't do triples? Like, sure I can, because I'm doing this for more than like over ten years in my life. So it's not a pressure. It is - for now, it's opposite. Maybe when I will try to do quads in a programme, in competitions, it will be the pressure, but nobody knows yet, because I'm not doing it yet."
I think that's a lovely, healthy attitude to have, to admire her competitors for what they can achieve, and to draw inspiration from them. I also like how she points out that even she can't tell if she'd feel the same way if she adds quads: she hasn't done it yet, so nobody knows how she'd feel. Which is a very tactful way, I think, of indicating that she is finished with that question. Also, the way she says small tiny girls cracks me up.
Plus, I had never noticed how enormous and beautiful her eyes were until the Rostelecom interviews.
Zhenya is wise beyond her years.
