Diana Davis & Gleb Smolkin



Diana and Gleb after the rhythm dance: ▪️Feelings are not bad, but we can do better, we know where we could be more powerful - everywhere. Not bad for a start, but you always want more. I would not compare points with previous international tournaments, in the same Warsaw it was a series B tournament, and here is the pre-Olympic European Championship. Different things ▪️Let's see what the rest will show, we don't focus on scores at this tournament. There are judges, they change, there will be new judges at the free dance, many have not seen us, many remember us as juniors ▪️The task is to show ourselves in the best way, so that we are remembered, that we are known, that we are meant “Shall we stay to see someone? No, we have a wonderful doping, always with us, so let's see how it goes. Of course, I would like to stay, watch Russian couples, we always support them, ”said Gleb Smolkin, apparently referring to doping control.

They make jokes about the doping, but I hope someone won't twist that :)
 


Gleb spoke about working with Eteri Georgievna:
- In early January, you worked at Khrustalny. What role did Eteri Tutberidze play in the preparation?

- Rather, she played a tonic and more detailed role, since we were in Moscow without our main coach. Eteri Georgievna helped us to give gloss, some precision in movements, in the character of the dance. It's always good to get some opinion from the outside. Moreover, from one of the best specialists in the world.

- Vladimir Morozov said at a press conference that now Eteri Georgievna has become a pairs coach. Can we say that now she has become a dancer's coach?

- Still early. Not quite for this reason, we are related to it (smiles). She supervises more somewhere prompts. We also want feedback, not only from our team, but also from other people, this is important.

- Does she give any advice on the mood, and not on the technique of dancing? No, she doesn't advise. We perfectly understand how to tune ourselves, we are not five years old, we ride quite a lot of time and are old enough to tune ourselves and each other as much as possible. Yes, everyone understands. The difficulty is that it needs to be done, ”Sport24 correspondent Konstantin Lesik conveys the words of Smolkin
