Figure skater Sofia Shevchenko occurring in tanks on ice with Andrei Ejlov told that the duo had not yet applied for the show program tournament.
In April last year, Russian junior champion Shevchenko, who previously competed with Igor Eremenko, returned to the sport and teamed up with Yezhlov.
— Of course, most of the season and the main departures are behind us, but it’s not over yet. We are currently preparing for the next tournament. We are grateful to everyone who supports us. This year has been really busy. We entered the season without expectations or predictions. Now, looking back, I see that a lot of work was done. We improved from start to finish, every time we went on the ice we tried to be recognized and remembered. I really wanted to express myself. From my point of view, we succeeded. It also went well, showing myself to the best of my abilities in every start and qualifying for the main tournaments.
Andrei proved to be a reliable partner. At the same time, major competitions are new to him. We were both worried and worried, but we got through it all together. The main thing is that we realized that Andrey and I were successful as a couple, that we had a future. Thanks to this season, solid foundations have been laid for further work and the desire to move forward has only increased.
The application for the “Russian Challenge” was not submitted for several reasons. I think we will apply next year. Now let’s exhale and start preparations for the next season. We will look for our own style, develop ourselves in all directions, be memorable and try new things. We have already highlighted the main points that will require serious work during the offseason. I would like to say a big thank you to our coaching team, thanks to which we were able to take up Russian ice dancing, ”Shevchenko told .
Shevchenko and Yezhlov took 11th place at the Russian Championship and sixth place at the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
The Russian Challenge show program tournament will take place in St. Petersburg on March 9.
