Russian figure skater Adélia Petrossian explained how attitudes towards training and sport change with age.
The second stage of the Russian Grand Prix began on Saturday in Kazan. Petrosyan, 17, scored 85.67 points and took first place in the short program. Second – Veronica Yametova (74.40), third – Sofia Vajnova (68h30).
— Skating was a bit difficult and exciting. I’m glad I did it, but not 100%.
— You have an ultra-si element in your short program. Maybe it wasn’t worth it?
— I don’t want to lower the bar, I try to keep my jumps so that they don’t disappear.
— How do you feel now as an adult athlete? What changes are you experiencing?
“Changes happen, thoughts change. This affects both training and daily life. You have to talk to yourself a lot, force yourself, kick yourself. As I grow up, in some places I become lazier, and in others, the opposite.
– Gleikhengauz said that excess emotionality bothers you…
– He’s right. I am very angry, I can be upset because of any failure or, conversely, I can be happy with success. Mood swings get in the way, but lately things have gotten a little better.
I have trouble falling asleep in the evening after the short program, before the free program, my thoughts get involved. I often talk to my mother, she listens, it helps, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Petrosyan’s words.
The skaters will present their free programs on Sunday.
