— Which skaters will you cheer for, besides Yasmina?
— I always support Matvey Vetlugin. He is my good friend and I know how responsibly he prepares for each competition and approaches our sport with great love. I also like Katya Mironova and Zhenya Ustenko. They are improving significantly from season to season, they have really joined the fight! I believe that the guys will soon be able to “shoot”. Among the girls, Rita Bazylyuk will most likely shine.

– I liked Gabriela Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, and among the singles players – Yu-Na Kim and Patrick Chan.
I have also always admired Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov. Here is a personal point: I came to pair skating after seeing their performance at the Olympics.
