Figure skater Andrey Kutovoy in a conversation with a correspondent, he told how his cousin Elizaveta Nugumanova supports him before each performance.
Kutovoy competed for the first time this season; the skater was previously recovering from an injury. At the St. Petersburg Championship he scored 224.39 points.
-Lise [Нугуманова] Today she came to the rink especially to support me. She congratulated me in the mixed zone immediately after training. She said she had a question about something and we would discuss and analyze it a little later. And so, before performances, she always wishes me good luck and says: “You can do anything!” Then he just gives a hug. So there is nothing special in the words, but for me it is still very valuable,” Kutovoy told .
Kutova and Nugumanova trained together in Alexei Mishin’s group, after which they joined Veronica Daineko. Kutova now works under the direction of Dmitry Khromin. Nugumanova has taken a break from her career and is not participating in official competitions.
