Elizaveta Tuktamysheva said she was happy with her result in the short program at the Russian Figure Skating Championships in Krasnoyarsk, as she did not want to be last in the free program.
On Friday, Tuktamysheva moved into second in the short program, earning 82.98 points, and only lost to Sofya Akatieva (85.59).
“Perfect location?” No, it wasn’t perfect. There were bumps for me. In general, I am satisfied with the rental. I am satisfied that such a rental turned out in the championship of Russia. The first clear run of a short in the Russian Championship since 2014 was, I think, in 2017 in Krasnoyarsk. Or in Chelyabinsk. I do not remember.
Have competitors’ scores been pressured? I never look at the competitors before the start. Yes, second place is a good position ahead of free skating. I didn’t want to skate the last free program. I am satisfied. In Perm I skated fifth, I liked it. Why don’t you want the last one? The sixth is to wait a long time, 40 minutes, to close rentals is a crucial step. Tomorrow we have a very serious free program.
This is the 15th Russian championship for me. Repeat recording? I repeated, but did not interrupt. Maybe if I interrupt, there will be something special in terms of emotions.
How long will I continue to compete? How many will be the forces, so much and I will compete. Why am I booked? Banal fatigue after the rental. I don’t have such young blood in me to be very happy,” Tuktamysheva told reporters.
