Russian figure skater Pierre Gumennik after performing the short program at the second stage of the St. Petersburg Cup, he spoke about his state of health and also noted what he needed to improve.
“I’m progressing from start to finish. If on the skates of the St. Petersburg national team I skated very badly, on the skates of the Russian national team – not bad, then here it is good. Did all three jumps, but a little messy. It’s far from ideal, but in terms of technology, I almost made it. And for the first time in his life he made a combination of a quadruple lutz – a triple sheepskin coat. So I’m happy.
After the trial skates, I fell ill and recovered literally two days before the Panin memorial, but, unfortunately, I didn’t have time to recover. Now, in calm mode, I am preparing for the Grand Prix.
I froze the work on the quadruple axis, because it is dangerous to do it in season. There is a big risk of getting injured and losing chances to participate in tournaments. Tomorrow in the free program I plan four quadruple jumps.
OF [Рафаэлем] I keep in touch with Harutyunyan, he continues to help me,” Gumennik told reporters.
