Figure skater Elizaveta Shanaeva performing in a dance duet with Pavel Drozd, said that she calmly responded to negative comments regarding the collision with Annabelle Morozov on the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk.
On Saturday, Shanaeva touched Annabelle’s leg with her skate blade during warm-up. As a result, Morozov, playing with Igor Eremenko, entered the rhythm dance with a bandage over the damaged area. The duo’s coach, Anzhelika Krylova, told that the skater received seven stitches after the cut. At the same time, Shanaeva said that she “didn’t notice anything” during the warm-up. Morozov and Eremenko withdrew from Sunday’s free skate.
— Coach Anzhelika Krylova said that this is not the first time you “hurt” your opponents during warm-up.
– I do not remember.
— The story with Pasechnik?
– Looks like we haven’t met her. (During warm-up) there are five couples on the ice, everyone shouts who is inferior to whom. There was no collision. Now I will try to remember the whole evening.
I deal with hatred normally, I saw that they wrote words that perhaps we should apologize publicly. I read it and closed it. “I can abstract myself,” Shanaeva said in an interview published by the press service of the Russian Figure Skating Federation.
Shanaeva and Drozd finished second in the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk, losing to Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin.
