Voronov: “I was wrong letting go of my concentration towards the end. I haven’t been last to warm up for a long time ”
Russian figure skater Sergey Voronov commented on his performance in the short program at the Finlandia Trophy Challenger series tournament. The 32-year-old athlete made a mistake by falling while performing a triple Axel. For his skating run Voronov received 79.48 points.
“My mistake is that I let go of my concentration towards the end of my run. The fact is that I haven't been the last to warm up for a long time. It’s hard to ride as sixth - it’s like walking, stretching, and changing clothes, but then you need to go out and make yourself perform well.
In general, I would rate the rental as “satisfactory”. There were no ridiculous mistakes, "pops". Yes, I fell on my Axel, you can’t do that. But this is a twisted jump, he was at work.
Excitement? Only fools don't worry. Of course there is. Moreover, I had a break. Reliving competitive emotions again is pleasant and exciting.
Do I keep on skating because I don’t make enough money in shows? In our country, everyone wants more money, but that is not the point. If I wanted to earn more, I would do something else in the world of sports. The same show. But I want to live my life with pleasure. Yes, I worry sometimes over performing in competitions, and sometimes, excuse me, I strain myself for the fifth spot. But it gives me a high feeling.
Now everyone will again say I am a veteran. It's funny to me when they call me that. I would like to answer reporters: "Guys, next question please." Okay, okay, if there is a veteran, let him be a veteran. But veterans are those who participated in the Great Patriotic War. While I am just a young man who has been engaged in figure skating for a long time .....”

At first I thought the big cheers that came when he was introduced was because Yuzu did something cool, but no, the audience really do like him a lot!![]()
He's very popular in Japan and introduced to the general public in their magazines as one of those blond princes every Japanese girl is in love with![]()
he doesn't strike me like a princey (is this a word?) kind of guy, he is more of a funny guy i think

Indeed! Although Plushy also got the Prince treatment in Japan, some of the old videos on YouTube are hilarious. It's not Yuzu levels, of course, but there used to be quite a cascade of flowers when he competed. They even gave him a fake crown once!
I wonder if Arthur G was just as popular there![]()
It's a magazine world: only an appearance counts. He's tall and of great posture, his hair and skin are bright, and that's enough to show him as a man of dreams...
Thank God for that!![]()
And Vladimir Litvintsev'sthat explains Deniss Vasilijev's popularity too
And Vladimir Litvintsev's.
