Coach Igor Shpilband about the preparation of the dancing pair Diana Davis - Gleb Smolkin:
“After the final of the Russian Cup, Diana and Gleb, unfortunately, could not immediately return to America. Due to the pandemic, it was very difficult to obtain a visa. Therefore, they were forced to stay in Moscow for several months. And I am very grateful to Sasha Zhulin for the fact that he was able to find the time and work with the guys very fruitfully. That is, all this time they did not remain unattended in Moscow. Thank you very much.Only on June 6, Diana and Gleb flew to Michigan. We already had a clear plan for the rhythm dance. I sent the music to the guys in advance ("Boom Boom Pow" - The Black Eyed Peas, "Bom Bidi Bom" - Nick Jonas, Nicki Minaj). And they themselves have already tried something, they sent me a video. It was clear that these compositions are very suitable for them. Diana and Gleb immediately felt this music very well, they moved well to it. The rhythm dance took shape immediately.
As for the free program, we decided to make it based on the program ("El Tango De Roxanne", "Your Song", music from the movie "Moulin Rouge"), which the guys had last year, because we skated it as a junior program of all once, ”coach Igor Shpilband commented.
