Figure skater Sofia Muravyova said she had to focus on her performance and not worry about whether it was difficult to perform without Anna Shcherbakova And Alexandra Troussova among rivals.
Muravyova takes second place after Saturday’s short program at the Russian Grand Prix stage in Kazan (77.02 points). Kamila Valieva is in the lead (81.09). 2022 Olympic champion Shcherbakova and Beijing Olympic silver medalist Trusova are not competing in the Grand Prix.
— It’s not up to me to evaluate my rental. I was satisfied with the skating, I was in a good mood. The crowd in Kazan is very good, I didn’t expect them to be so supportive.
It seems to me that I am not used to competitions, it is my first start of the season. The shows give emotions, but this is completely different. If you take a back seat, no one will care.
— Why didn’t you do the triple axel?
“It keeps happening.” If I do it separately, it is not a fact that it will turn out in the program. For now, I have decided not to take any risks.
— How does it feel to play without Shcherbakova and Trusova? Is there less competition?
– What difference does it make to me who is? I am me. I have to show myself how I can skate, and not like Shcherbakova or Trusova. It is important for me to skate cleanly myself and not look at who else is playing, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Muravyova’s words.
