— Are you satisfied with the rental? I did everything. If you dig deeper, I don’t know, you have to look at the prints. Isn’t it a shame you didn’t hit 100? Well, those are just numbers. There were more at the St. Petersburg championship. It’s a good result.

The accompaniment of the public is very pleasant, it loads. It imposes a responsibility, because behind you are people who rely on you. It’s a mutual thing. Who supports me? Parents, daughter, fans. At the time of the rental, I do not think of the support of my parents in the stands. Thoughts especially on the rental. It touches someone, it’s easier for someone when the parents are watching at home. It doesn’t make much difference to me.

Did you expect to have to replace (Mikhail) Kolyada? I was the first substitute. We prepared just in case. Am I glad I didn’t have to go to Sochi and play at home? It is warmer in Sochi. And so, yes, you don’t have to go anywhere, ” correspondent reports in Ignatov’s words.
