The 2019 European champion Sofya Samodurova assessed the past season and spoke about the study of the triple axel.
- How would you rate the ended season?
- I am satisfied with the last start - the final of the Russian Cup. Although it all began quite dramatically, the first element did not work out. I just wanted to get off the ice and no longer finish the program. I am never wrong on the first jump. Anyway, in the first half.
But I am glad that I was able to pull myself together and get it to the end. All thanks to the unrealistic support of the audience. I really enjoyed it. I haven't had such feelings for a long time.
- This season for you all the main tournaments were held on the territory of Russia. How do you like this format?
- It's good that we basically had competitions. No matter where. The main thing is to get feedback from the audience and to please the coach. Of course, I would like to go abroad. But in this format, it also worked out well.
- What are your plans for the coming months?
- Finish off the triple axel. And start staging programs. It is not clear yet about the fees.
- Do you plan to leave the programs for the next year?
- I already have an idea for a new program for an arbitrary program. If thoughts on the short, but there are many questions. All this should be discussed and agreed with the coaches. Of course, I will change the programs. We must keep this bar and try to make the performances better and better.
- Is the triple axel close?
- Now there is more work going on for finishing than for leaving. Last year I went to see him, but there was a big under-rotation. If Alexey Nikolaevich says that the trixel will be coming soon, it means that it will be soon. I feel that I can do it, I feel progress.
- In one of your interviews, you mentioned a quadruple toe loop ...
- I tried it about a year ago for the last time. In the meantime, all my efforts are aimed at the triple axel.
- What do you lack to finally cope with it?
- If you look at my double axel, you will see that I am flying there like plywood over Paris, head first. It's hard to switch and not do it on a triple. This slope is not needed before the jump, more stopper and more height, - said Samodurova.
