Figure skater Sofia Leontieva dancing in ice dance with Daniel Gorelkin spoke about the main events that happened to him in 2023.
Leontyeva and Gorelkin took fifth place at the Russian Championships in Chelyabinsk.
Daniel: Oh, so much has happened this year! The most vivid memories are of course the skating tests and the Russian Championship, if we talk about sport. And if it’s about life, then I’ve matured – psychologically.
Sophia: If we don’t take figure skating, I can’t say that I had any brilliant events in 2023. Everything went well, there were ups and downs. I would also like to note that certain personal qualities emerged in me: I grew up, became wiser, smarter and began to defend my personal boundaries more clearly. I have always told people the truth, maybe this year I started to do it more rigorously – everything is like that, in fact. We grew up.
Daniil: In any case, we are very grateful for this year, because it gave us a lot to develop, believe in ourselves, new goals and objectives.
Sophia: We did a lot of surpassing ourselves, we realized that we were much stronger than we thought. We have become smarter, stronger and more fearless. Ready to move forward! And we will only develop the qualities we have acquired.
Daniel: And develop it in the right way. Here of course, thanks to our coaches, because they are our sports parents, they also give us a lot, share their experience. We are now very close to them. And we thank them for that,” said the skaters according to the “Championship”.
