Athletistic / Figure skating. Olympic figure skating champion Ekaterina Bobrova shared her opinion on the debut of European single skating champion Alena Kostornaya in pairs. She performed in tandem with Georgy Kunitsa at the Russian Grand Prix in Omsk. There, Kostornaya and Kunitsa took 4th place.

Kostornaya expressed her dissatisfaction with the judges’ assessments. But later, the skater called the judges’ lounge.

“Now there can be no ‘I’ here. That’s all, you are a couple, a whole, and you have to support each other. Now there is no more ‘I’ – nor in the jumps, nor in parallel elements. This is a couple, and it is very important to realize it at this stage.

And the next time the athletes are unhappy with their scores, they should say: “I think WE are not skating worse”, this will be the key to some success and progression as a pair. In the meantime, this will come true: “I’m not skating worse, but neither is Gosha,” nothing will come of it,” Bobrova quotes in the Championship.
