Figure skater Sadkova: “It’s very good that Shcherbakova supports me”

Figure skater Daria Sadkova said that she communicated well with Olympic champion Anna Shcherbakova.

On Sunday, Sadkova won silver in the women’s competition at the fourth stage of the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix, scoring 224.93 points in the two-program total. Adelia Petrosyan won (251.57), Ksenia Gushchina won bronze (212.79).

— These competitions are really better than the previous ones in Kazan. Yesterday there was a pretty good short program. Today I managed to neatly make two or four sheepskin coats. This is good news. But this stupid error on the Lutz of course spoils the impression of the free program a little. Because, as we are always told, it is better to fall, but not to make a butterfly. Today I got this error. This means that I have to work more on the second half, on other elements that I paid less attention to than the quads. We will work to show the best result at the Russian Championship.

— On the podium, Anya Shcherbakova was very worried about you. Maybe she set you up before the rental?

“I have seen his reactions several times. It was very cute to see how worried she was. Anya and I communicate quite well, but we don’t overlap between short and free. I was pretty much in my thoughts and I think Anya was tired too. It’s very nice that she supports me so much.

– What did you say to yourself today?

— In Kazan, I was very worried about the short program. I think it was clear from the look that there was going to be no clean performance. During these competitions, I tried to put myself in a state of work, to capture these sensations, to listen to music. I’ve never listened to music before while preparing for competitions. For me, it was probably clear that she was more calm, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Sadkova’s words.
