— Your comment on the rental.
— I wanted to break 80 points. I wanted results, material confirmation of my work. The benchmark for pair skating is 80 points. We are happy that they contacted her,” Kozlovsky said.
— Did the failure at Krasnoyarsk stimulate you?
– Hard to say. We had no problems with motivation and work, ”Boykova replied.
— There are tournaments where something doesn’t work. This is an outdated stage. We are now entering the main period of the season, as the Russian Championship approaches. There is only one free program left before which we are already starting to watch it,” added Kozlovsky, whose words were reported by the correspondent.
The pairs will present their free programs on November 26.
