Three-time Olympic champion Svetlana Kolesnichenko and multiple world champion Varvara Subbotine in an interview with a correspondent, they called the current season’s non-standard preparation for no international departures and said there would be new productions for the new season.
With the free program “Spiders” they won the first stage of the “Friendship Games” in Kazan.
Will the Spiders survive until next season?
Kolesnichenko: No. They will upgrade!
Saturday: They are everything.
– How difficult is it to prepare when there is such an intermittent schedule for departures?
Saturday: This time we had a generally non-standard preparation, there are some difficulties with the fact that everything is chained, then a break, but we gradually got used to it.
Kolesnichenko: First, we prepared for the World Cup in May, then in July, then towards nowhere, then towards the Friendship Games, and then “there won’t be any”, then towards Spartakiad, but what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
– Your competitions in Spartakiad will take place in the Round. Does this mean that there will be hardly any spectators or that there will be very few?
Kolesnichenko: I love competing without spectators, like I did at the Olympics. Therefore, everything suits me.
Saturday: I don’t understand that at all, I need people in the stands – and what’s more, it gives me energy and strength. I think that representatives of other sports will come to see us: gymnastics, diving, swimming.
– Varvara, your parents came to the Friendship Games.
Saturday: I’m always happy when they come. They always go to those of all Russia, periodically to internationals. I always feel comfortable when they are there.
– How long did the coach promise to rest after the Spartakiad?
Kolesnichenko: The rest will certainly be until October, then the recovery costs – we don’t know where yet. Then we will begin to set up new programs.
