Figure skater Alexandre Samarin said that due to illness he could not breathe through his nose while performing a free program on the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Samara.
Samarin took third place at the Samara stage with a score of 263.21 points. The stage victory was won by Petr Gumennik (300.66), Roman Savosin was second (288.46).
“I am happy to have reached the end of the tournament without any major breakdowns.” It turned out to be a lutz, but I realized that it would be more difficult for me. I couldn’t breathe through my nose, even though free skating is usually difficult. And in this state, you can’t breathe at all.
I’m happy to have managed to get on the podium. If there were no more errors in both programs, I would be even happier,” reports the correspondent, according to Samarin.
Later on Sunday, in Samara, the women will present their free programs, followed by the ice dancers.
