Figure skater Samsonov: “I wanted to skate a number on my mother at the Russian Challenge to leave a good impression on myself. »

Figure skater Daniel Samsonov told that he was not very upset about the lack of prizes at the Russian Challenge tournament, because he was able to please his loved ones and fans with his skating.

On March 9, a tournament of show programs “Russian Challenge” took place in St. Petersburg. Samsonov performed a program dedicated to his mother.

“When we were allowed to apply for the tournament on our own, I immediately realized we had to skate something family-themed. First of all, I thought about music about my mother. But as a backup option I had a song by Maxim Fadeev about my brother. I found a song by Oleg Gazmanov performed by Erik Akhmetov.

I wanted to perform a number about my mother to leave a good impression of myself. I wanted every person in the room to be touched. So, I wanted to try to win something. But we couldn’t win. I’m a little upset. But now that I read the comments under my speech, there are 76 of them, and all of them are positive. I am happy that I was able to leave a good impression of myself. After the performance and during the last victory lap, people in the stands shouted that my performance was wonderful and the best. This is more important than all the prices.

After the rental, friends and relatives wrote to me. I didn’t tell anyone in the band what I was going to do the show about. Dasha Sadkova wrote to me that she was shocked and gave me a thousand points out of ten. Also written by Karina Safina, Andrey Yezhlov, Sonya Samodelkina. I can’t say I was upset about the lack of pricing. “I’m happy that I was able to leave a good impression,” Samsonov told .
