“I see that my team does not want me to end my career” – Tuktamysheva

World figure skating champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva will not end his career. She told reporters about it after winning the Panin-Kolomenkin Memorial in St. Petersburg.

The representative of St. Petersburg skated a free program with a fall and received 150.65 points for the rental, in total the figure skater scored 233.41 points. Earlier, Tuktamysheva also became the first in the short program, earning 82.76 points.

The second place was taken by Ksenia Gushchina (212.73) from St. Petersburg, the third was the representative of the Republic of Mari El Daria Sadkova (211.70).

– You fell off the triple Axel for the first time. What happened?

– In the morning without training, it is more difficult to perform than in the evening, when you have already warmed up. But I’m glad it happened, because I landed the second trixel after falling off the first, and now I’ll be more confident on the second jump. It didn’t happen in practice, so I’m glad today was such a skate.

Is the program already final?

“I don’t think that ever happens. There is always something to improve.

How important is this tournament to you?

– A good worker. It’s good to win.

– When you studied the image of a blind woman, did you turn to acting techniques? Maybe they tried the world by touch?

— Yes, I blindfolded myself and tried to find objects.

– How did you prepare yourself mentally to enter the ice during this tournament? How were the competitors perceived?

“It was an easy start. I didn’t see girls as competitors. It was important for me to skate well for me.

– You are already in your 16th season. Where do you find the strength and inspiration to keep skating?

— I like my team. I see that they are interested in my career and do not want me to finish. When such a harmonious atmosphere allows health, why not continue?

— The Federation announced big cash prizes for the winners of the show tournament. Is this an additional motivation for you?

– Money is always good. What’s wrong here?
