"It has been difficult for everyone"
- In recent months, I have seen the life in a way I have not done before, he says.
- You have had to work like hell to get back everything you had before, but it's been tough. It's been really, really tough. It has been difficult time, the recent difficult both physically and mentally. Tough months. Much frustration, anger, a lot of sweat. I lost everything and had to start afresh. Normally I would say that it takes three four months to get everything back, but it has been faster than normal.
Concerns about the father's there all the time.
- He is feeling a little better. Since we do not know. One must wait for the time shows the results. It is hard for everyone, but they have become accustomed to and take one day at a time.
Has everything that happened given you a different outlook on life?
- Yes, we live more, trying to take advantage of what is given and experience a lot of new things. It's like you see things you've never seen before. The negative always has something positive in itself. You learn to live in a different way, says Alexander Majorov.
Despite anything but optimal preparation, he is in Bratislava with high hopes.
- The position can never predict. I want to be happy, to walk away with a smile. I am ten percent from a good result, it is great. It is not often fully succeed in figure skating, but manages to be 90 percent, it is terrible good. If things go well and you manage with what we have in the program there is a chance the top-3. We are a cluster that can succeed and you are a little better than the other, you are among the three.
You go for a medal?
- Sometimes it works, the mold will return. I have known it for the past week. Had you asked a little earlier I said that it did not go, but stamina is almost fully back. I would not be ready, I had never gone. That's my motto. I feel that I am back and go there with my quad that I had last year. I am sure at a higher level than I was last year when I came back after injury. Then I hope it is true.
Is it the hunt for the perfect ride that drives you?
- It always is. It will not end until you do it. Olympics was the perfect race in the short program. I still want to have the perfect free. Two perfect performances in the same competition. I hope it comes in a championship so I can win a medal for Sweden.
- It is time that someone from Sweden do it, guy or girl. We deserve it because we worked so hard for success.
