“I was very excited to be here, because this is my first international competition.” said Shcherbakova, who was unable to compete in the Junior Grand Prix in the past season as she had broken her leg when missing a combination with a triple loop. “My main goal for this season is to skate clean and to land a quad Lutz in another competition. I did not try it this time because I need more stability in this jump. Sometimes I also train the quad toeloop, but at the moment I concentrate on the quad Lutz,“ she continued.
