“Absolutely everyone should look around, attentive people do not collide” – Gerboldt about the incident with figure skaters Shanaeva and Morozov

Bronze medalist of the Russian Figure Skating Championship Katharina Gerboldt told that during the clash Elizaveta Shanaeva With Annabelle Morozova during the third stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk, both couples were guilty.

On Saturday, Shanaeva, performing in a dance duet with Pavel Drozd, during a warm-up, touched the leg of Annabelle Morozov, who performs with Igor Eremenko, with a skate blade. As a result, Morozov went out to perform a rhythmic dance with a bandage on the damaged area.

— There are different situations, but in the process of competition, the feeling of pain subsides a little. Everyone has a different pain threshold. I was able to ignore some injuries and deal with them after the performance was over. Absolutely everyone has to look around, those who are attentive don’t collide, that’s the task of both partners,” Gerboldt told .

Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin won the rhythm dance (87.26 points). Elizaveta Shanaeva and Pavel Drozd (79.61) took second place, Annabel Morozova and Igor Eremenko (76.13) took third place. The skaters will present their free dance on Sunday, October 29.
