Figure skater Gallyamov said he would donate teddy bears given to him by his fans to an orphanage.

Figure skater Alexander Galliamov playing in tandem with Anastasia Michina said he would donate the plush toys donated by fans to an orphanage.

On Friday, the Mishina/Gallyamov duo scored 79.38 points in the short program of the Panin-Kolomenkin memorial tournament in St. Petersburg.

“I am very happy to return to my beloved academy, where I grew up and spent more than ten years,” Gallyamov was quoted as saying by correspondent. — When you come, you immediately remember those years when I was still skating here, even in singles, when I arrived in St. Petersburg.

— The start of the season takes place with the participation of the main rivals – is this a plus?

Mishina: I think it’s a plus, because it’s always nice to play when the team is strong. In general, our composition is almost the same as at the Russian Championship. It’s cool.

Gallyamov: That’s a plus. I think it’s a big excitement for the fans to come. There are a pretty good number of viewers today at 4 p.m., but I think there will be more tomorrow. There will be a small gift for them at the end of the work week.

– They gave you big bears again. Will you soon give them a room or an apartment?

Gallyamov: I will send them to an orphanage soon. I have accumulated a small batch from the tests, which I will donate to an orphanage.

— Should we expect any surprises tomorrow?

Mishina: I hope a clean performance is expected. We will try.
