Figure skater Irina Khavronina ice dancing with Dario Cirisano in an interview with , she said that she tries not to focus on the amount of prize money in competitions.
At the Russian Grand Prix stage held in Sochi, Khavronina and Chirizano took second place in the dance couples competition. They scored 190.87 points on the sum of two rentals, only losing to Elizaveta Khudaiberdiyeva and Yegor Bazin, who scored 210.98 points.
The prize money at the stages of the Russian Grand Prix in Figure Skating is distributed as follows: 500,000 rubles for first place, 300,000 for second and 200,000 for third.
– In Russia this season there are very good prize money. Do you know how much money you won at the Sochi stage?
“Honestly, I didn’t even care. How? 300 thousand?
How much money does this represent for you? Do you already know what you are going to spend?
— Of course, it’s very good that the federation encourages and motivates us. Thank you to the sponsors who support us this year. But I try not to pay attention to the money, not to think about it. I probably won’t spend the prize money right away. I will postpone it indefinitely. If I need something, I’ll take one.
– But there is another stage of the Grand Prix to come, then the final and the championship of Russia, where the prize money is even higher. This probably adds motivation?
– At first you have to win, then think about the prize money. First you need to skate well, then when they come to the card you can rejoice.
The Khavronin/Chirizano duo won gold at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games, as well as the 2022 Russian Junior Championship.
