— I am very happy with the skates, they were much better than in Krasnoyarsk, I did a quadruple toe loop in the free program, short without falls. I didn’t think I had fallen, I had to go further in the program to get grades with a reserve.
— What did the coaches say?
– A little better than last time. But we need to stabilize Lutz and improve the program.
— What can I do to worry less?
“I’m a lot less worried this season than last. You need to prepare for the fact that you are going to have fun, you are going to another city, you need to show your best side. I came here realizing I had never played here.
— You qualified for the team tournament, what are your expectations?
“I want to skate better than last season, because last time everything wasn’t going well. I think it should work, I’ll make sure everything works out.
— You will have another open training session. Are you waiting?
— I don’t know if I’ll play it. If I do, I will be extremely happy to take part in an open training session, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Prineva’s words.
