— I positively evaluate the performance of our couples. Two couples on a base. Looking at them individually, Katya and Matvey haven’t performed in public for some time; they were eagerly awaited. It seems to me that the return from injury was successful. Yes, of course, there were some mistakes in the free skate. We will certainly take stock upon our arrival and continue to prepare the stage in Moscow.

As for the performances of Elizaveta and Artem, the guys are progressing at a very good pace this season, which, of course, cannot but rejoice! Component scores are also increasing, which means we are moving in the right direction. We try to improve from start to finish, paying attention to the judges’ comments.

— Can your athletes compete with Mishina and Gallyamov in their current form?

—In its current form, of course not. We understand this well. We will strive to be in top shape for the national championship, and then we will see,” Zakroev told .
