So, the translation of Anna's interview:
You have the biggest bouquet so far of all the other skaters who have already completed the performance
(Anna nods embarrassedly)
What are your impressions from today's performance?
-I really enjoyed skating today. I focused on the choreography. And I tried to teach myself how to stop being nervous (laughs).
Are you nervous today?
-I realized: in fact, no matter how hard I try to say that I need to skate at the show for my own pleasure, I still get very nervous, I miss the six-minute warm-up that I use to feel the ice. I'm a little nervous, but I'm trying to fix it. I only do jumps that I can do without worrying too much and try to think about the choreography. And I look into the eyes of the audience so that everyone can feel this energy.
So it turns out that here you are even more nervous than at the competitions - and all because of the lack of a six-minute warm-up?
- Well, although I am nervous at competitions, I always check myself during the warm-up and then confidently go to each jump, already knowing exactly what I should do. But here it's a little different. There is no such certainty.
You will perform at all the shows of Eteri Georgievna - are such plans already known?
-I don't know for sure yet.
Anya, tell me, how could you describe a creative person [very hard to hear]?
- This is a very difficult question, especially after the skate, when my head is a little off. I probably can't describe it right now.
Anya, Kamila recently performed a dance in the style of Vogue, Zhenya and Sasha dance in the style of strip plastic. Can we expect any experiments from you, for example, dance, in some special style?
- Well, there are plans, but I don't know yet whether I will demonstrate it to a large audience.
In general, what are your plans for the off-season? As I understand it, now there will be some kind of rest after a series of shows?
- Rest will be, yes. Just now there will be performances in the show and in the first days of May we will start a vacation. Throughout May, I will have the opportunity to recover and rest.
Any ideas for programs for the next season already?
- No, there are no ideas yet.
There were videos showing you learning new moves, including the triple Axel on the floor and…
- I haven't studied the Axel yet, but on the floor I've been doing this jump throughout my career, since I was nine or ten years old. Therefore, there is nothing new here.
And the new quadruple jump? And can we assume that you are already actively preparing for the next season?
-I'm preparing for the next season anyway, but at the moment I'm not learning new elements.
And what about the quadruple loop? What was it at the demonstrations?
-Yes, after that [after winning the Olympics] I still had enthusiasm for subsequent training, especially when it was planned to participate in the World Championships. Then I actively trained the quadruple loop, but then I focused primarily on the clean skating of the program and did not study this element anymore.
That is, this element did not work out very well?
- No, actually everything was going well. I don’t know, maybe for some people it happens that everything works out the first time, but I always studied the elements for quite a long time. Well, when I had plans for the World Figure Skating Championships, there was more motivation, let's say.
Anna, do you lack rivals now?
- (with surprise) Strange question! There is such competition in Russia that I think I will never have such a problem.
And the rivals in international competitions?
- We actually have daily training within the group, where there is already a huge competition, so we almost do not feel the lack of competition.
You said that you were enthusiastic before the World Championship. And how now, some kind of enthusiasm has been preserved?
-Now the competition is over. In addition, I had a goal to finish the season well at the First Channel Cup. I really wanted to show clean skating, because when I was still little, it always seemed to me that the main thing in the season is to perform without mistakes at the last start, so that later I can go on vacation with peace of mind. Therefore, I had the idea that at the last start you need to do everything well - such a goal appeared. And now I just want to perform well at all the shows, perform the elements and enjoy skating. And then - rest. And right now, I just don’t need to look for some kind of super-motivation, because in general the season is over. Thank you!
