Figure skater Sofia Vajnova said that during the skating of the fifth stage of the Russian Grand Prix, she felt the support of the European champion Mark Kondratyuk.
On Sunday, Vazhnova won women’s bronze at the Russian Grand Prix in St. Petersburg, scoring 208.49 points in the two-program total. Alina Gorbacheva won (234.58), Veronika Yametova was second (213.39).
“It’s a little crazy.” After skating, I gave so much that I didn’t feel very good. At first I found out I would be fourth. I was very happy to qualify for the Grand Prix Final. When I found out I was third, I cried with happiness. My goal for the season was to get on the podium at the Russian Grand Prix, I’m very happy. This surprised me, of course, I really wanted it, but I understood that there are a lot of strong girls here. I wasn’t really counting on the podium, I wanted to skate well.
I even forgot that Mark Kondratyuk was coming. When I went out to rent, I was a little surprised. It’s very nice that he supports me. We didn’t speak to him before the skating, I just felt he had my back. I think it helped me.
The idea of the medal may have crossed my mind, but I tried to chase them away, I did not come to take a place, but to show impeccable performance,” reports the correspondent , reporting Vazhnovaya’s words.
