Javier FERNANDEZ & ndash; & Ldquo; I am very happy with today's performance. & Nbsp; L & rsquo; objective was to cross the hundred points in an international competition. There are other skaters can go further, but clearly & egrave; You need to take risks. After the final of the Grand Prix in Barcelona, ​​we decided to increase the level of difficulty & agrave; of both competition programs. My coaches had gi & agrave; It made a decision to that effect already & agrave; before, but without telling me. Tomorrow I will try memorize options to run two triple axel in the free program. All this & egrave; according to the World Championships. "
Maxim Kovtun & ndash; & Ldquo; Before you take to the track I felt great as well prepared and not nervous. I do not know what was the problem today. In fact, on the triple axel I have made mistakes in other competitions, and, in fact, after the national championships have long worked on & rsquo; element, which remains for me the most & ugrave; complicated. If I had not fallen at the end of the triple axel, the evidence would have been perfect. Right now, I have no problem to do two quads and overall levels of steps and spins are good, so I feel satisfied. "
Michal BREZINA & ndash; & Ldquo; If I'm honest, I was expecting a slightly higher score, but I paid the fall on the quadruple salchow. For the rest, every other element & egrave; It was well done with a lot of level four. At least, I have completed all the rotations of the quadruple salchow planned. It & rsquo; It was great to see so many in the stands of the Czech Republic flags. What I always says Jozef Sabov & # 269; & iacute; k: & ldquo; No Slovak, but Czechoslovakian & rdquo ;, is also true for me. I feel just cos & igrave; ".
Alexei Bychenko & ndash; & Ldquo; I am a bit & rsquo; disappointed not to have kept the concentration until the end and have lost a couple of levels on & rsquo; last trottla. I was a bit & rsquo; nervous, I must admit, and I felt even excited me because & eacute; I was now close to completing a program without snagging. Now the minimum wage in each program & egrave; perform a triple axel and a quadruple. Now for the truth & agrave ;, so many of my colleagues do two quads and this has become the & rsquo; aim for me. "
Daniel SAMOHIN & ndash; & Ldquo; I'm sorry I fell on the triple axel, but I gave my best and I managed to land two quads. Tomorrow to memorize options sar & agrave; essential complement to even better the triple axel. This season is not & egrave; It was easy to pass continuously by senior races in junior competitions, but the strategy agreed with my father & egrave; It was to take part in pi & ugrave; possible competitions to find more consistency. As for the future, I'm working on the quadruple Rittberger and I hope to be included in the programs of the next season & rdquo ;.
Ivan RIGHINI & ndash; & Ldquo; I think I was the author of a & rsquo; excellent performance. Usually, unlike my coach, I'm never satisfied, but today & egrave; throughout a & rsquo; other music. I have completed well as I planned and prover memorize options in the next race to raise the level of & rsquo; dipstick. I changed the music of the short program because & eacute; The current track d & agrave me; tranquility & agrave; and it allows me to skate more & ugrave; freely and more at ease & rdquo;
Matthew RIZZO & ndash; & Ldquo; I am incredulous to the program that I just skated. This is serious; the first European Championship in my career and I can only be satisfied with the performance since I qualified for the free program. Will search memorize options to work even more & ugrave; hard to have more consistency at the next race will be in Vienna for the next month and then will participate memorize options at the World Junior Championships. Skating ce l & rsquo; s in my blood. My parents are coaches and my sister has experience in the discipline & rdquo ;.
