DANCE - Short Dance
Kaitlyn Weaver & ndash; & Ldquo; The training went very well for the whole week. In pi & ugrave; c '' & egrave; something very familiar and pleasant in & rsquo; be in Barcelona. We always l & rsquo; impression to be supported by the public at each step. There are some aspects on which we can improve. We have not yet seen the levels, but the starting position & egrave; excellent and we think gi & agrave; tomorrow & rdquo ;.
Madison Chock & ndash; & Ldquo; The public & egrave; It was fantastic and gave us the right energy to skate better. It & rsquo; always a pleasure to compete here. Obviously, there & rsquo; & egrave; still much work to do, you have to earn some level, but we are happy with how things went. "
Luca Lanotte & ndash; & Ldquo; We made a small mistake on the twizzle, but I do not know why & eacute; It happened. We in any case felt at ease throughout the program. The levels obtained were good, but we know we can do better. There is room for growth on the sequences of ravensburger waltz and we need to put more & ugrave; energy in the partial sequence ".
& Nbsp;
PAIRS OF ARTISTIC - free program
Fedor Kilmov & ndash; & Ldquo; We are very happy for how we skated also because & eacute; for the first time this season we were able to perform all the items scheduled without making mistakes. C & rsquo; & egrave; great satisfaction for this success. & nbsp; Regarding the & rsquo; hypothesis insert a quadruple launched our free program, I can say that we are well aware of how the skating couple is making significant progress. This race is not & egrave; served, & egrave; It was enough to skate clean running good jumps, but in the future we aim to add it. L & rsquo; idea to run this program free & egrave; was Ksenia, who found the music in a documentary film. We perci & ograve; intensively than before to radically change the style of choreography and skating in a different way. "
Meagan Duhamel & ndash; & Ldquo; We are proud of the performance today. We felt at ease and productivity & egrave; It was higher than that of the short program. "
Eric Radford & ndash; & Ldquo; L & rsquo; goal now becomes to be able to run in the race quadruple lutz launched. It is part of our arsenal and the & rsquo; & egrave idea; to add at most & ugrave; early programs. This is all part of the development and growth of the discipline and makes everything much more & ugrave; exciting. Is not serious; a case that even the two Chinese couples have attempted a quadruple salchow launched & rdquo ;.
Alexander Smirnov & ndash; & Ldquo; Today everything worked perfectly, but we are happy with how we played the program and to be back on the podium in the final. "Yuko Kavaguti & ndash; & ldquo; The decision not groped four times Rittberger launched the & rsquo; we have taken during free program in front of my two crashes on the jumps in parallel. I am very sorry for my mistakes. "
& Nbsp;
SECTOR FEMALE - short program
Evgenia Medvedeva & ndash; & Ldquo; I am happy because & eacute; I was able to accomplish that for which I worked so hard in training. Last year I was sitting in the same room and the same position, but as a junior skater. Now I am here as an adult. I made a clear step forward and I am pleased for that. I tried to complete as I did in the past, trying to skate like a & rsquo; adult. For this reason I worked more on choreography than the preparation of the other elements. I'm satisfied to have left behind the errors committed in Moscow and to push myself beyond the seventy points. Prover & ograve; to further improve & rdquo;
Elena radionova - & ldquo; I can be satisfied with the result today. I was able to attack the triple toe loop after the triple Rittberger and I can only be happy. Perform a combination with two triple jumps in the second part of the test is not & egrave; easy. Now I have to think of the free program and give my best for the public and for my fans. I have great respect for as a skater Mao Asada, who & egrave; been able to be competitive for a long time. I can say that & rsquo; I love. "
Mao Asada & ndash; & Ldquo; I made a big mistake today and I am very sorry to Regards to, but overall I can not believe my poor performance. Of course I hope to do better tomorrow. This season return to the races, I'm having good feedback from the triple axel. I am, however, working a lot on the triple lutz in such a way as to make the & rsquo; input from the wire correctly, but, obviously, l & rsquo; element has not the necessary consistency. If you were to give advice to Radionova Medvedeva and I would tell them to take care of their bodies, even now that they are very young. I could have a career as well & Igrave; long-lived because & egrave; I never suffered serious injury. "
