Russian figure skaters Sofia Leontieva And Daniel Gorelkin commenting on the future repertoire, they spoke of the desire to show themselves differently on the ice.
The dance duo took fifth place at the Russian Championship in Chelyabinsk, earning a total of 193.87 points.
— The lyrics seem to suit us very well, but this season we didn’t want to follow the beaten path. A lot of couples skate lyrics, so I didn’t want to skate about love. It’s very beautiful, but when a lot of couples talk about love, something spectacular and interesting is more memorable. It is also likely that the judges will become bored by listening to a lot of slow music. We decided to choose something magical, daring, interesting, active. And we really liked that style, it’s fun to skate. Of course, it’s much more difficult than skating the lyrics: both in terms of tempo and choreography.
If we talk about our repertoire in the future, I don’t think we will go in one direction. In one season we will take one thing, in another we will take something new. I want to impress, to show myself different,” quotes “Championship” Leontyeva.
— We have an active tempo, especially in free dance. Both programs are quite active, but in the second half of the rhythm dance we have blues – this is more familiar to us. Free dancing is completely new to us. We are incredibly grateful to our coaches for finding this music and suggesting this idea. We enjoy this dance!
The best couples in the world are couples who know how to dance any dance and they will always look simply stunning. And we are striving to achieve this,” Gorelkin added.
