Figure skater Ezhlov talks about his performance with Shevchenko during skating tests: “Experts noticed that we looked better in rhythmic dancing”

Figure skater Andrei Ejlov performing in ice dancing with Sofia Shevchenko, told that, according to experts, their rhythmic dance during skating tests of the Russian national team was better than free dancing.

The duo made their debut at the national team skating tests in mid-September. Yezhlov and Shevchenko, who became a couple in April, train in Elena Maslennikova’s group.

— How did the experts rate your performance during the skate tests?

— We left a good impression. We noticed our harmonious combination and our new programs, which turned out to be very interesting. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done. Especially about free dancing. Experts noticed that we looked better in rhythmic dancing. That’s right, we trained him more. We didn’t have time to fully prepare for the free dance. We will be perfectly prepared for the Russian Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk.

I particularly loved the audience’s reaction to our performance. “Thank you to all the fans for your support,” Yezhlov told .

The Russian Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk will take place from October 27 to 30. The couple will also perform on stage in Samara in mid-November.
