Mark and Zhenya, can anyone translate?
 
Mark did wonderful in the Team Event. It´s almost scary that a Russian man can be so consistent. I said at Europeans that Mark is becoming one of my favorite skaters very fast. And now he´s there. :love: I was so nervous for him today, but there was no reason. Sometimes I don´t know how he lands the jumps, but he does. Now he can enjoy the individual event without the pressure that he has to perform for the team.
 
What a showing by Mark!

One thing I love about his skating is you can always count on him to fight for it. He's got mental toughness in spades imo and I thought that save by the boards showed both his smarts and composure.

I'm so happy for him!! It really could not have gone much better!
 
Well, this is happened. Kondratyuk became the first Olympic figure skating champion among Russian men after the end of Plushenko's career. I think it is for Mark that this is a particularly great day. His contribution to the overall victory was, perhaps, decisive.
 
Lol, it's almost exactly one year ago that I created this fanfest for Mark. Not in my wildest dreams did I think I would update the OP one year later to say he is the 2022 Olympic Champion in the team event.
Congrats Mark!!! :yahoo::cheer::points:

I love when I see skaters I supported from early on (when maybe no one has heard of them lol) get a glow up like this, so congrats to Mark of course but also @CrazyKittenLady :biggrin:
 
Interview with Mark after the individual SP.



Google translation:

Mark Kondratyuk after the rental:

"Who killed Mark (quote from Oksimiron)? Let's talk about it the day after tomorrow. I'm not happy. The performance was not terrible, with mistakes. It's not very good.

There was absolutely no strength last night. I had to look for them in order to get out at all.

How did you endure until the evening? Did I have a choice?

How to morally collect yourself in a personal, when you have already done the main thing at the Olympics? This is no reason to relax. Yesterday we won, but this does not mean that today I can go out and skate badly because of this. Morally difficult? Yes. Internal desolation. Pleasant.

Have you noted? No. I got up at 5 am today. Before that short (in team) I got up at 4. It was easy to fall asleep, because I didn’t think about the fact that we won yesterday. How not to think? I don't know, just take it and don't think. I can't explain it.

Will I go to the awards? I think this is a must. But even if I had a choice, I would certainly go. And I'll go."
