How do you judge your performance?
Fernandez: "It '' was hard for many skaters believe, I felt very tired gi & agrave; before the program, I do not know why & egrave; but it had never happened. I had trained well so far and yesterday in training had gone well, today for some reason I did a lot of pi & ugrave; fatigue. I tried to do my best but obviously not & egrave; was my best performance ever. & Egrave; was hard but the 'I made it. & nbsp; & Egrave; fantastic win again, I won for the third time in a row, not doing a great program, but no one had ever won three European medals in a row from pi & ugrave; of vent''anni. I am continuing to make history of my country that I is supporting cos & Igrave ; so much, and I'm happy to give in return these historical results. "
Kovtun: & nbsp; "I have mixed feelings. I am very happy that I managed to win my first medal to Europeans, a race extremely important. As said Javier, & egrave; been tough for everyone even if I fought to the end, in each of my jumps. I had trained well at home so far, no problems, but the mistakes made today you can easily fix in the next few races. "
Voronov: "I was not feeling well today too, perhaps & egrave; tiredness. These weeks have been exhausting, i have prepared as best as possible. I'm happy to have arrived on the podium with my teammate and Javier and myself confirmed at this level. Now I think I know by heart the 'Spanish anthem after hearing him three times in a row! "
Fernandez, the final grand prix you said your free program & egrave; the pi & ugrave; hard you've ever planned, but now you just said that you could in training to complete it all with ease & agrave; ..
Fernandez :: "S & Igrave ;, & egrave; true & ograve; between training and competition c '' & egrave; un''enorme difference. This program & egrave; undoubtedly difficult, the choreography does not leave room to breathe, I trained a lot to be able to get to this level, but I do not think riuscir & ograve; to make a program just as hard the 'next year, also because & egrave; sar & ograve; a year pi & ugrave, old man! "
Kovtun: you changed your clothes for free.
Kovtun: "I can not say why & egrave; the 'we have changed, not c''era a reason, for & ograve; when I presented the costume have been dubbed free spider man or turtle, so maybe she should change it ... the national appreciated the new costume and I also asked on twitter the 'opinion of the fans. I still like both the costumes. "
