Figure skater Chikmareva on bronze at the Russian Championships: “I definitely had no more ambitions”

Skaters Ekaterina Chikmareva And Matvei Yanchenkov They told that they do not intend to move beyond third place in the Russian Championship.

Perm skaters won bronze at the national championship in the 2023/24 season. Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov became winners of the Russian Championship. Alexandra Boykova and Dmitry Kozlovsky won silver.

— At the Russian Championship, you won bronze medals. Did you have ambitions to climb higher or did you carefully evaluate the possibilities?

-Catherine: There were definitely no more ambitions. But the Russian Championship was our best start to the season.

— Matvéi: Maybe there was a chance to go higher. In the free skate, we scored a good number of points. But Sasha Boykova with Dima Kozlovsky and Nastya Mishina with Sasha Gallyamov coped with their content.

— That is, at the moment you can overtake Boykova/Kozlovsky and Mishin/Gallyamov only if you have a clean performance and their mistakes?

– For now yes. But we are progressing, gaining more and more points. There is a lot of competition in couples. Yulia Artemyeva with Lesha Bryukhanov, Liza Osokina and Artem Gritsaenko, and Natalya Khabibullina with Ilya Knyazhuk deserve to get on the podium.
