– What are your impressions and emotions?
Shecheleva: Very happy! It took a long time to achieve this, we worked very hard on it.

— Who staged your programs?
Karnaukhov: Anton Shibnev choreographed the short program for us, we practiced it with our choreographer, did different approaches.
Shecheleva: Georgy Vladimirovich Pokhilyuk choreographed our free program. He bets on both singles and doubles. Very interesting idea, I like it. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone.
