Nikita once again says that he never did such mistake before (for the third, fourth time this season the couple says that any mistake was never done before and it was just a rarity to make a mistake).
Lena Ilinykh take it with ease:
“During single skaters practise – skaters also misses (make mistakes) on quads and triple jumps. Of course, twizzles – it is hard enought element for dancers, sometimes it works, sometimes not. But we don’t have a psychological problem in this element.“
“After Olympic Bronze, where we beat French and second Canadian couple, it was obvious that we are capable of fighting for Gold Medal with good skate. But it didn’t influence us, we know even without it that judges will give us high marks for good skate.“
I would add that even without good skate judges will give them high marks – it is very visible.
