Skaters Natalia Khabibullina And Ilya Kniajouk after third place in the short program at the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow, they said they were a little lacking in emotion.
On Saturday, Khabibullina/Knyazhuk finished third in the short program with 76.40 points. First place went to Alexandra Boykova/Dmitry Kozlovsky (81.20), second place to Ekaterina Chikmareva/Matvey Yanchenkov (76.51).
— Ilya Knyazhuk (IR): The emotions after the rental are positive.
— Natalia Khabibullina (NH): We are pleased.
-IR: Maybe they haven’t fully opened. We tried to please Megasport. I was a little more excited than in Omsk. We often skate first or second during warm-ups, but here we had to wait. That’s why it was exciting.
— NH: We finished fourth in the warm-up and waited a very long time before getting on the ice. I wanted to show the best of myself. My parents supported me, they flew from Izhevsk. It was a pleasure. Thank you to the viewers for their support. Overall we are satisfied with the rental. But we will look and find gaps.
-IR: We were a little short of emotions. “We’ll try tomorrow,” reports the correspondent what the skaters said.
The duo will present their free programs on Sunday.
