Kamila Valieva commented on her performance in the short program at the European Championships in Tallinn. The athlete has updated the world record - 90.45
“With every start I try to add - both in skating and in emotions. It is clear that I am growing up - both physically and mentally, I also feel more mature.
In training, we work out a lot of programs - and with each start you start to enjoy your skating, from the fact that you try to please the coaches and spectators. But yes, I'm already skating more for myself, I guess. "
“Today I really felt that the program was telling a story. It is a pleasant feeling when you skate and forget about your body, you are all in the program, in the audience, in the judges and it is so inspiring, and you skate better and better.
New world record? This means that I'm doing everything right, it's not for nothing that I work on the elements every day. This is the motivation to keep working. I am delighted that I was able to score 90 points in the short program. Starting to think about points or places is confusing, so I try to think about the program, the mood, to go out and inspire the judges, the audience and myself. But if I get such marks, then I am going in the right direction.
I want to tune in to the free program and skate it as enthusiastically as I skated in the short program. I don't think changing content is a good idea. If I could, I would have done it in earlier competitions. Now I just have to move on, new content is up to the next season. For me, the European Championship is a kind of test before the Olympics, it is a very important competition, and it's just great that it is held on the same schedule. But the Olympics are not tomorrow, and it is useless to think about it now. "
Me particularly Loving the aurora borealis background !
