 The winner of the China "Grand Prix" Elena Radionova noted that she still cannot believe that she has been competing at the senior level for four years in an interview with the press service of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia. According to the Russian figure skater, it's wrong praise themselves, even after a successful performance. - It's already the fourth time when you participate in the final "Grand Prix". What for you is the matter? - Honestly, I do not believe that this is my fourth season at the adult level, and that every time I manage to get into the Grand Prix Final ". For me it is a great honor. In fact, it is not so easy. It's one thing to go to a certain level, and the other to stay there. I want to improve my score in every season. But let's see whatever will be, will be.  - At a press conference, you said that at the end of last season, you decided to slightly complicate the program began to make a cascade of triple lutz - triple salchow. Why at this stage? - It was our mutual decision with the coach. We thought that it is better. It was not difficult to learn at this stage. - You have 5 jumps in the second half of the program, as the deal with it? - It's hard physically and psychologically. First we arranged jump in the short program in the second part, and then in the free program. And it turns out that after you skated half the program, and you have to come to realise there is still a whole program with jumps. Yes, it is psychologically and physically hard, but we need to skate. While I deal with all these which are not so good, there were shortcomings that need to be clean. But this is only the beginning of the season. |

 - How do you plan to prepare for the "Grand Prix Final"? - First you need a little rest. And then start to not like that from scratch, but to continue the work that we have started to do. - What else can you improve? - All. And the speed and quality of the elements, the rotation on the track. Ensure that in the skating they come easily. It seems to me it's wrong to praise myself, even after a successful performance. It should be self-critical, because there is always something to strive for.  |
