Russian figure skater Artur Danielian after performing the short program in the second stage of the St. Petersburg Cup, he explained why he decided to participate in the tournament.
– I’m out of competition here. It’s a start in Saint Petersburg, I’m still in the Moscow team. A few days before the start, I hinted to the coaches – let’s play! They supported. Before the Grand Prix I have more than two weeks. Why not practice? I need to get back in shape to calm my nerves. Wait for me tomorrow too!
How would you rate your performance today?
– Generally good. I have a jackdaw for salchow, that’s right. Walkway on third level so not ideal. In any case, it’s already better than the Panin-Kolomenkin memorial.
“Keep in touch with your Muscovite friends after the move?”
“Of course, where are they going? I communicate with everyone, I wait for everyone to visit. Recently, my mother came to visit me, prepared some treats. I am very happy, I missed you. Haven’t seen each other in over two months?
– Does group sparring help you?
I see it more as an incentive. They jump quads – I watch and take something for myself. We play: each with two salchow attempts, for example. Whoever jumps better than them, congratulations! said Danielian.
Danielyan will perform on the Grand Prix stages in Kazan and Samara.
