“There was uncertainty in Omsk. But towards Krasnoyarsk, the situation was better.” Figure skater Rukhin – about the stages of the Russian Grand Prix

Figure skater Yegor Rukhin in an interview with , he said that he was most satisfied not with his results at this year’s Russian Grand Prix, but with the fact that he managed to resume the season after a long break.

At the second stage of the Omsk Grand Prix, Rukhin took 10th place (199.56 points). At the third stage of the series in Krasnoyarsk, the athlete became sixth (207.89). Rukhin missed the 2022/23 season almost entirely due to coronavirus and a long recovery.

— This season, you have already managed to perform on two stages of the Grand Prix. In Omsk, I took tenth place, in Krasnoyarsk, sixth. Are you satisfied with the results?

– Satisfied. Considering the short preparation period for the season, the performances turned out to be quite good.

“But I am more satisfied not even with the results, but with the fact that I managed to start the season. There was a risk that I wouldn’t have time to prepare for the tournaments. To Alexei Georgievich [Василевскому] and Yulia Ivanovna [Лавренчук] I only arrived at the end of July. Before that, I trained for a whole year in public skating. You could say that I started working with new coaches more as an amateur than as a professional. It was difficult to get involved in the process. But it’s good that we had time to prepare.

As for the stages, it was clear that there was uncertainty in Omsk. But towards Krasnoyarsk the situation was better. In the free program, I managed to perform two quadruples,” Rukhin told .
