Figure skaters Shanaeva and Drozd talk about their clash with Morozov: “There are couples who practice aggressive warm-ups”

Skaters Elizaveta Shanaeva And Pavel Drozd recounted the details of the collision with Annabelle Morozova during deployment at the Russian Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk.

On Saturday, Shanaeva, performing in a dance duet with Pavel Drozd, during a warm-up on the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk, 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.

— What happened during the warm-up?

Shanaeva: I didn’t notice anything.

Lily of the valley: We were leaving the element. If I remember correctly, three couples were in one part of the rink.

Shanaeva: It was more dangerous when we were doing twizzles with Sasha and Vanya together.

Lily of the valley: We tried not to disturb them. 5 couples equal 10 people. Everyone needs to warm up. There are couples who practice, so to speak, an “aggressive warm-up”. Maybe that happens sometimes.

— You haven’t managed to communicate with Annabelle?

Lily of the valley: They played second. Climbing before the start is not very good. I hope everything is okay. If they skated, that means pah-pah-pah, nothing serious. In any case, good health to all,” said the skaters according to Sport24.
