“The Olympic Games are an event that cannot be described by a single emotion. From insane fear to calm” – figure skater Kondratyuk

Olympic bronze medalist Mark Kondratyuk spoke about her emotions while skating at the 2022 Olympics.

Kondratyuk is the champion of Russia and Europe. He also won a bronze medal at the 2022 Beijing Olympics in the team competition.

— What were your feelings during the Olympic Games?

“It seems to me that this is an event that cannot be described by a single emotion. I’ve had four rentals, each of them giving me a completely different range of emotions. From insane fear to calm, trying to fight. Different emotions.

— Do you need to think about the importance when you know what you can do?

— For me, all sport is mathematics. It may seem that in figure skating we go out and show training, but decisions are made in a split second: stunt, rearrange the program based on difficulty, skate to gain strength. Whatever the form, you have to think in the moment. This will help you to be stronger than your opponent. In general, when you go to competitions and dismiss the importance of the event, it helps, but it is difficult. You can try to throw it away, but you won’t be able to completely reject the thought. For example, at the Olympics, wherever you look, you will have rings, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Kondratyuk’s words.
