Double Russian figure skating champion Alexander Galliamov told of his excitement when he read the lines of his own composition.
At press conferences after the short and free programs of the Russian Figure Skating Championships, Gallyamov read a rap of his own composition. At the tournament, the 24-year-old skater won gold with Anastasia Mishina.
— Another shining moment was that you rapped at two press conferences. It was obvious he was nervous. Are you working on yourself in this regard?
“I know how to deal with anxiety during competitions, but here there are new emotions.” My biggest critic hasn’t spoken yet, but I have the impression he will be there… I’m sure everything will come with experience, you have to be a little patient. I work on myself in all aspects.
“But you’re totally okay with self-irony.” After a not very successful, so to speak, performance, a meme with Eminem and sheepskin coats appeared.
— Of course, everything is fine (laughs). I also posted a photo with a cat and they started attacking me with memes. It’s always funny when fans add something funny to situations.
— Have you read the comments under the video with your rap?
– No, honestly. I was forbidden from reading the comments during the championship. I published an article where I’m sitting kiss-and-grey with a phone, but I didn’t read anything in detail. There were very busy days in Chelyabinsk. Later, I will definitely take the whole day, I will laugh, I will be surprised.
— Will you be attentive to criticism?
– Meaning? Personally, I don’t see any, people’s emotions may not coincide with mine. I will just continue to delight fans with content. When people wrote that I didn’t write enough, it was bad. Today, thousands of people are happy with the stream, but some say it is bad. Who should I target? Of course, in the thousands,” Gallyamov told .
