An interview after the nationals
https://youtu.be/g02e_aQBoJc
- We are very glad with such a result at Russian senior nationals. Actually first and foremost we are glad we have showed clean skate and the main elements were executed to a very high level. We are glad that we have showed fighting, we are also glad that we have overcome the pressure which presented at these nationals. Since it is very evident for everyone and it’s a strange paradox that Russian nationals if you look through totally in the season and career it is not the main competition of your career or something like that. But every year and every next season it is mentally one of the most difficult competitions. And because of it I think Aleksandra and I are glad that we have overcome and managed to step over this phsychological pressure that was throughout all this competition and long before it. Actually, I think that you agree with me, throughout all the first half of the season you understand that Russian nationals are forthcoming soon, it’s very close, it’s on the treshold and it’s over now already. And when in yesterday’s interview I said that I was glad that everything was over I indeed meant it. Because it was a great stress. It doesn’t mean that it won’t be again, it will be at the next competitions. But the most mentally difficult competition is over.
- Of the fist half of the season.
- And we are glad that everything turned for us this way. Would you like to say something?
- Frankly speaking I have nothing to add because you have already said everything that we are glad how this competition turned out for us and we are pleased with our work and pleased that we haven’t let anyone down.
- I want to say that we…
- ...have come up to expectations. It’s better to say this way.
- Yes, we have come up to expectations and trust of our coaches, parents and many more people.
And as far as motivation or something like this is concerned we have realised that Russian nationals adds you...we have realised what we should bring more to our skating, how we should skate, what we should do and how we can skate. I think it isn’t even a motivation. We have a lot of motivation to skate and show ourselves at the highest level, to reach the top level, we have a lot of it. And after these Russian nationals we just want to go on this way, we want to prepare to other competitions to show our maximum at them like this.
- Guys, well done great, congratulations on your victory. Happy forthcoming New year, may all your wishes come true in it.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
