Figure skating coach Maria Borovikova told that her students Irina Khavronina And David Narizhny miss the tournament of show programs “Russian Challenge”, because they decided to save energy for next season.
Khavronina and Narizhny teamed up last winter and began training in Denis Samokhin and Borovikova’s group. In their first season, the skaters won medals at the Grand Prix stages, bronze at the Russian Championship and Spartakiad.
“We all thought it through and collectively decided that we would not apply for the show program tournament. There is a fairly short preparation period after the announcement of the lists of participants, and setting up a new program in a hurry, “on our knees” does not please us. Faced with a choice, we make it in favor of sport. That’s why we will show the final programs of the season at the Cup for the last time, and that’s it.
— I remember how, in our fall interview, David just said that he wanted to focus on learning new material, but the shows didn’t appeal to him much.
– I agree with him. So we have already started preparing for the new season. We discuss production plans and ideas. It’s more important and more interesting, so we save energy,” Borovikova told .
The show program tournament will take place on March 9 in St. Petersburg. The winner will receive 5 million rubles.
