Winner of the Spartakiad for the strongest figure skater Yevgeny Semenenko said that before the free skate, he thought he had never scored more than 300 points in his career.
Semenenko scored 304.40 points at the Spartakiad.
— My performance is the competent work of the technical staff. We always have a positive atmosphere and the support of loved ones influences us. In general, I like this competitive attitude. Previously, it was possible to calculate everything by counting points, but now, even in the last season, the competition has developed so much that you just need to skate cleanly, without mistakes and falls. It’s a real pleasure for us and for the fans.
– How to turn off? What is the secret to clean performance? You are almost the only one who skates cleanly in Russia.
—Actually, there are a lot of talented guys. I don’t want to emphasize it.
— At the end of the program, you expired with the audience. Does this stay in your memory?
— Not only in memory, but also in the present moment. When I did all the jumps, forces began to appear on the slopes – and everything went well.
— Give advice to the other guys. How to fight?
— It’s not me who should be giving advice, honestly (laughs). Congratulations to all.
— Gumennik couldn’t come, he also had 300 points. But you haven’t relaxed because of his absence?
– Yes, all the guys are strong. Yes, there was no Petit, but even without that, the composition is serious.
— With Petya, it’s always like a derby. Had he disappeared?
“I’m just happy I skated clean.” I found myself thinking I hadn’t gone over 300 and I’m glad I did.
– What are you going to do first?
– I’m going to rest and sleep a little. And I have exams, I have to prepare,” reports the correspondent of , according to Semenenko’s words.
Figure skating competitions within the framework of the Spartakiad of the Strongest will take place in Magnitogorsk from February 16 to 18.
