On Friday, Lazarev won, scoring 273.56 points based on the sum of two skates. Arseny Fedotov took second place (269.70), third place went to Ivan Ramzenkov (233.65).
— It was very important for me to succeed after the scene in Kazan. I prepared hard, skated a lot of programs and everything went well. This time the content became lighter, a Salchow was removed. But you’ve seen for yourself: it’s better this way.
Why didn’t it work in Kazan? I was sick two or three weeks before departure. I don’t know what happened there. It just happened like that. Here I calmly attended both programs. Calmer than usual.
Of course, the successes of my classmate Masha Gordeeva stimulate me. We did quadruple jumps together last season and pushed each other.
My parents were very supportive. They are very happy that I won. Did I see Fedotov’s notes before the rental? Yes, but I didn’t dwell on it. I had to skate mine, and then the judges would decide everything. There wasn’t much pressure. Arseny’s performance cannot demean me, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Lazarev’s words.
