Figure skater Gorbatcheva: “I entered the track with a little uncertainty and lost my balance. She disappointed me”

Figure skater Alina Gorbacheva said a broken track spoiled her sensations during the short program at the Russian Championships in Chelyabinsk.

Gorbachev received 72.09 points for his performance in the short program.

“I entered the track with a bit of uncertainty, lost my balance and received a fine. It’s a shame, because the whole track has become negative and it’s a waste of points.

— Generally speaking, what are your emotions from the short program?

— The sensations got worse, of course. I’m glad the jumping elements went well, but the track… It was disappointing.

— Have you ever had any problems with the path?

— No, I wasn’t in the competition. They gave me this element and I taught it. She always did it with confidence, without any caution.

—Are you going to watch this piece again?

– We will discuss it with the coach.

How was your preparation, did you get sick?

— I was sick, but not much. There were a lot of emotionally difficult moments,” the correspondent reports about Gorbachev’s remarks.
