“It felt easy to skate and it was nice with the audience too, so I enjoyed performing,” said the 2017 Russian national bronze medalist. “Unfortunately, I made an error on the triple flip and I’m upset about that, but overall, I think it was not a bad performance.”
“Today I am pleased to have skated a clean free program and that I was able to cope with my nerves,” said Sotskova. “It was not the maximum of what I can do, but it was a consistent performance and from there I just want to improve.”
“This program is one that I’ve wanted to do for a few years, said Osmond when asked how she made “Swan Lake” her own. “To finally skate it this year, I worked with Jeffrey Buttle on the choreography. He brought a different style to the ballet, trying to make the choreography like the ballet, but also contemporary so that it fits my style of skating instead of the pure ballet style, which isn’t always quite what I am.”
