Andrei Mozalev: "There is fatigue after the First Channel Cup. I gave it my all there, I gave a lot of emotions".
Russian figure skater Andrei Mozalev commented on his performance in the short program at the St. Petersburg Championship (5th place).
- What do you think about your performance? How do you feel?
- I feel a little tired. I can't do everything. But my feelings, except for the jumps, were great. The audience was very supportive. Fans on the stands. I`m tired after the Channel One Cup, I did my best there. It is a little bit hard here. I gave a lot of emotions in Moscow.
- What is it like for you to play two weeks in a row?
- I have never had such a thing. I had a break of two weeks at most. It was my last junior season.
- Why did you decide to play, knowing that it would be difficult?
- It was hard, but it was also an experience. It's the championship of the city I love. That's why I'm here.
- What do you think of the fact that this is the first time a city championship is being held at a full house?
- It's cool that figure skating develops and goes forward, more spectators watch us.
- Is it still possible to fight for the victory?
- You can always fight for the victory.
- Did the absence of a coach at the rink affect you?
- No, not really. I had such an experience before. You need to be able to compete without a coach and with a coach is also an experience.
- And the presence of material incentives in the championship of the city inspires you to win?
- Of course it does. There's nothing to comment on.
- What were you feeling when you watched European Championship?
- I didn`t watch it, I only saw the results. I`ve watched the table and browsed through the printouts. I didn't leave any special impressions.
- Wasn`t it a shame that you weren`t there?
- It's a shame, actually. But, I think, that my European championships are still ahead of me. I'm not sad, I try to keep working, - said Mozalev.
