Konstantin Menshov: there are plans to execute two quads in the short program, and three - in any
This week kicks off a series of Grand Prix of Figure Skating. The first stage - "Skate America" - will be held on October 23-25 in Milwaukee (USA). Among the participants of the competition - Russian figure skater Konstantin Menshov. Before leaving the US, Konstantin Menshov shared expectations with a special correspondent of the Agency of the sports information "All Sport" Boris Jodorowsky.
- After returning from the tournament series "Challenger" in Oberstsdorfe (Germany) with the coach we are working to resolve identified deficiencies, - said Konstantin Menshov. - In Germany, I took off in the long program score because I missed the music. For rent in St. Petersburg fit. We have made minor adjustments to the track pitches. It has become faster and more booming.
- Is it true that you plan to execute two quads in the short program, and three - in any?
- Plans are there. The main thing - to realize them.
- Will have time to acclimatize to America, arriving there three days before the start?
- It's always a difficult question. In order not to experience such problems, you need to arrive either very advance, or just before the start. In addition, where more problems gives acclimatization after the return flight.
- How to assess the composition of the "Skate America"?
- On the stage the Grand Prix of weak opponents does not happen. Generally, I try not to pay attention to those who advocate either before or after me. My goal - to clean skate their programs, like the audience and judges.
- The American public, as a rule, the heat takes its only skaters. You find it hard to play there?
- I have the experience of playing at "Skate America" and complain about the negative reception can not. Although, of course, much nicer to speak at home in Russian, or in Japan, where all skaters take fantastic.
I will be rooting for you, Konstantin!
And thank you for the great photos, YesWay!
