EV: In the last season you briefly worked on the same ice with Nathan Chen. What did it give you?
AS: It was very educational. First I really wanted to see how the world champion is training. And there was a competition - Chen and I were going into the same competition and I wanted to show myself. I loved the way Nathan approaches the work. I learned a lot from him.
EV: For example?
AS: The practice for him is not a work that you have to set yourself in some special way. It doesn't matter whether the coach is on the ice - if Nathan is on the ice - he works. It's hard for everyone without the coach. Me, an adult athlete, I don't need to be taught to work alone, you don't have to make me work, but when Svetlana Vladimirovna goes somewhere I sometimes catch myself thinking I'd like someone to give me a push. That week that Chen spent in TSKA changed a lot in my approach. Nathan spends most of the time working alone. And a great respect for making it.
