Silver medalist of the Russian Figure Skating Championship Pierre Gumennik told in an interview with what he focuses on the American Olympic champion Nathan Chen .
Gumennik took second place at the 2023 Russian Championship in Krasnoyarsk. The first was Evgeny Semenenko (295.07). Gumennik scored the same number of points (295.07), but took second place, as he scored lower for the free program: 190.60 points compared to 195.92 points for Evgeny.
You are often compared to Nathan Chen. You said yourself that you like these comparisons. Do you think you are similar in some way?
– Yes, we are the same: we go to higher education, we all skip quadruple.
– Can you say that for you it is a guideline?
Nathan has shown he can learn and skate successfully. One does not interfere with the other at all. In that regard, I really focus on him. When I finished school, I decided not to study until I retired from figure skating. But in the end, he entered college, inspired by her example.
Since 2017, Goumennik has been training with Veronika Daineko at the Tamara Moskvina figure skating sports club.
