Olympic champion Alexander Galliamov performing in tandem with Anastasia Mishina, summed up the results of the Russian Championship in Chelyabinsk in a conversation with a correspondent.
The Russian Figure Skating Championship took place from December 20 to 24, Mishina and Gallyamov won gold with a score of 244.85 points. The skaters twice became champions of Russia.
— The double Russian champion is powerful. I want you to summarize the hard work.
“These four days were very difficult. You had to deal with emotions and nerves to keep your composure and your spirit until the very end of the championship. It was the toughest competition of the year, which, thank God, we managed to cope with. We can’t help but rejoice.
“A lot of guys came to us and told us they were sick and injured. Have you and Nastya had any health problems?
— I was sick well before the tournament and I felt a little bad. We tried to hide it and, in general, began to monitor the outgoing information very closely. This year I limited myself in many things: I decided not to go anywhere, only to the rink and at home. First of all, this was done in order, of course, not to get sick. Nastya and I had offers to attend various events, but we rejected everything. You had to come to the Russian Championship and perform in good health. Sure, it’s been difficult and unusual, but too many bets have been placed on this tournament. Each of us has set ourselves up to be patient so that we can then calmly dedicate time to our friends, family, interests and hobbies.
– Are you going to move away now?
– No, in no case (laughs). We have a very busy schedule, New Year’s shows are starting. We will immediately fly to Moscow, we simply do not have time to arrive in St. Petersburg, but personally I will celebrate the New Year with my family anyway. On the morning of January 1, I will quickly return to the framework of ice shows, ”Gallyamov told .
