& Nbsp;
Maxim TRANKOV & ndash; & Ldquo; Every competitions & egrave; for us a new drama. Perhaps because & eacute; because of our age & agrave; we have to fight with various injuries. Tania & egrave; struggling with the & rsquo; influence, I have some back problems. Our performance is not & egrave; It was the best, but good enough to win the short program & rdquo ;.
Tatiana VOLOSOZHAR & ndash; & Ldquo; For us it is of & rsquo; start of the season, not the central part. We have added new elements compared to other years and perci & ograve; we had to work hard in the training sessions. We hope to improve step by step. We are not too happy about our performance. However, we will try to do the best in the free program tomorrow. "
Aliona SAVCHENKO & ndash; & Ldquo; We are pleased despite my small mistake on the triple toe loop. I was not perfect on the episode. We are tackling this race with great confidence and we hope to express the full potential in the free program. We have nothing to lose. After two years, & egrave; It was great to skate in front of an audience so & Igrave; numerous. It & rsquo; It was an incredible feeling and I'm happy to be back competing in a major event. About my back problems, I have to thank the doctor and physiotherapist who have followed me for twenty four hours allowing me to give my best. & Rdquo;
Bruno Massot. & Ldquo; Before the race I was nervous, but public support calmed me. Our minimum score & egrave; It was cos & Igrave; bad considering that we made a mistake & rdquo ;.
Vladimir MOROZOV & ndash; & Ldquo; We made a small mistake on & rsquo; landing of the triple Rittberger launched, but overall we skated well managing to pull out everything we had inside. I have seen so many spectators and many Russian flags of our country. I am happy that so many people are sobbarcate a long journey to come to support us. "
Evgenia Tarasova & ndash; & Ldquo; Compared to last year, everything & egrave; It was more & ugrave; simply because & eacute; l & rsquo; experience has helped us. We were less nervous. When we knew we stepped up to the Europeans to participate in workouts, but we were still ready to race & rdquo ;.
Matthew GUARISE & ndash; & Ldquo; Today & egrave; It was difficult for us. Perhaps because & eacute; we were the last to get on track or perhaps because & eacute; & nbsp; we skated right after the great result of Volosozhar / Trankov. We are, however, pleased with how we fought to the end in a complicated situation. We have collected important points by performing well many elements. I can say that we arrived well prepared after hard training & rdquo ;.
Nicole OF MONICA & ndash; & Ldquo; Before leaving for Bratislava, we carried out extensive work to improve the quality & agrave; execution of the elements. Normally, in training, we do not make big mistakes and perci & ograve; we have enough time to devote to the quality & agrave;. & nbsp; We had a chance & agrave; to train for some time in Russia with Volosozhar / Trankov, very positive because & eacute; admire them every day & egrave; really inspiring and motivating. It would be nice to be able to arrive earlier or later in queli levels & rdquo ;.
Valentina Marchei & ndash; & Ldquo; Fall & egrave; It was unexpected. & Nbsp; Moreover falling I wet hands compromising the death spiral. Today we discussed the program with too much energy, which may have affected the performance. Our coaches are more & ugrave; pleased us as much as we did. Obviously, shoe pair for a year and a half for me and almost all elements are a novelty & agrave; ".
Ondrej Hotarek & ndash; & Ldquo; We have been together for less than two years. We need to work hard to improve. Before participating in the World Cup we want to take part in a & rsquo; other competition preparation & rdquo ;.
