Skaters Alisa Blinnikova And Alexei Karpov said that youth is one of their main qualities as a sports couple.
The third stage of the Russian Grand Prix began on Saturday in Krasnoyarsk. Blinnikova/Karpov scored 63.77 points and took third place after the short program in the pairs competition. The first are Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov (78.69), the second are Anastasia Mukhortova/Dmitry Evgeniev (73.88).
Blinnikova: Today, many couples have found the situation more emotionally difficult.
Karpov: We were worried before going on the ice, but we skated a little better than in Magnitogorsk. Of course, it’s better when there is competition and lots of couples.
— What went well today?
Blinnikova: Todes is better in level, the steps are just as bad, the jump is too crooked.
— Did you feel obliged to play after Mishina and Gallyamov?
Blinnikova: No, she was calm.
Karpov: We tried to tune out and didn’t look at who was skating before and after. But the energy and support from the stands for Mishina and Gallyamov is simply incredible.
— What are your advantages?
Blinnikova: We are young, stubborn in the good sense of the word. And the most important thing is that Alexei is very calm and balanced,” reports the correspondent, according to Blinnikova/Karpov’s words.
The skaters will present their free program on Sunday.
