— It was a little better than in Krasnoyarsk. But there were gaps that needed to be addressed. There was a fault in the waterfall, like last time. Overall, I am satisfied with the rental.

Is there a lot of competition here? I don’t pay much attention to my rivals. My job is to skate both programs cleanly. I feel like I’m performing at a high level. I want to be competitive.

Do I feel responsible? The arena is big, there are a lot of people in the stands, there is a sense of responsibility. But it was easy for me to ride. Until the last moment, I didn’t understand where I was. When I participated in the program, I realized that it was great, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Yametova’s words.
