“Ustenko and Mironova at the third stage of the Russian Grand Prix skated emotionally, delightfully, calmly and measuredly” – Sokolova’s coach

Ekaterina Mironova And Yevgeny Ustenko coped with the free dance at the Krasnoyarsk Grand Prix, but there were mistakes in the rhythmic dance, figure skating coach Elena Sokolova told .

On October 28-29, the third stage of the Russian Grand Prix took place in Krasnoyarsk, where the Mironov-Ustenko duo took third place, obtaining a total of 182.96 points.

— The guys performed their free program well. We have covered all the elements. They skated with emotion, “deliciously”, calmly and with measure, from the depths of the soul. It turned out to be a fairy tale about the love of a mute girl and an underwater creature.

In rhythm dancing, they appeared in new costumes with improved dancing. But unfortunately we made a mistake in the turns, which is why we lost in technical evaluation, impression and, consequently, points. The speed and cleanliness of the steps were good. But we have something to work on.

Today is Coaches Day and I want to congratulate all coaches on their professional holiday. I wish you strength, good luck and success! Getting students to achieve results is a huge, complex and meticulous job! Nerves, sleepless nights, constant self-motivation and faith are the key to success. But in general, coaching is easy when it comes from the heart! – Sokolova told .
