Figure skater Dmitry Aliyev said he has no plans to put his career on hold and is motivated enough to continue performing.
On Saturday, the fifth stage of the Russian Grand Prix began in Saint Petersburg. Aliyev, 25, scored 92.91 points and is in third place after the short program in men’s single skating. The first is Vladislav Dikidzhi (102.22), the second is Gleb Lutfullin (93.41).
— The competition is fierce, I won’t argue, the guys are all young, determined to improve. You can see how their eyes burn, but mine still burn too.
A mistake was made in the waterfall, but I managed to light and twist a triple and add a triple. I hope that problems will appear in training and not in competitions.
I am working so that during competitions, my leg is not felt as much as during training. I prepare my body for competitions so that I feel less pain. I adapted to the pain, so I said I was ready to ride the whole season.
The younger generation has a lot of motivation, me too, it makes me happy. I myself am surprised, now I don’t think about a break at all. At least during the season.
I am the oldest, the most experienced. I don’t pay attention to it, I focus on myself. A season ago I thought old age was coming, but now that’s not the case. It is better not to bring up such thoughts. Problems with my leg mean I have a lot to overcome in life. I like the fact that there are obstacles in the way that you have to overcome. “I have not yet found the business I am going to do,” reports the correspondent, according to Aliyev’s words.
The skaters will present their free program on Sunday.
