SHORT DANCE
Kaitlyn Weaver & ndash; & Ldquo; I think we skated well enough. Compared to Skate Canada we presented to this meeting with a workout in the double legs and have some & rsquo; mileage in most & ugrave; you & egrave; It revealed important. In any case, we can do everything in the best way and we will work to make this program the most & ugrave; Competitive possible & rdquo ;.
Anna Cappellini & ndash; & Ldquo; We are pleased to 90% in fact. Our performance & egrave; It was better than the Cup of China, but not yet equal to 100% of the potential of the program. We made a couple of changes and we're still working on it. We hope to raise the & rsquo; crossbar even more & ugrave; & rdquo ;.
Nikita Katsalapov & ndash; & Ldquo; Our coaches told us that we got better than at Skate America. Skating in Moscow & egrave; It was quite complex because of jetlag. We are used to & rsquo; time the United States. We are happy with how the public has welcomed us and we understood to have conquered & rdquo ;.

MALE SHORT PROGRAM
Adian Pitkeev & ndash; & Ldquo; I was very nervous before skating. Until now it had been present at this sports hall only as a spectator and as such I was willing to skate better. Obviously, I am very surprised to be in first place. For me, the simple fact of taking part in this conference is a great success & rdquo ;.
Javier Fernandez & ndash; & Ldquo; Yesterday and today in the morning training sessions went great, but in the six-minute warm-up I had a good feeling and I fell without finding the right feeling with the quadruple salchow. Tomorrow will & agrave; for & ograve; another day, I hope better. In Moscow I have a lot of fans and many friends and & egrave; always a pleasure to come back here & rdquo ;.
Ross Miner & ndash; & Ldquo; Today I focused in maintaining calm to the & rsquo; whole performance and I realized that you have done a great job in this regard. I look 'forward to tomorrow to follow the same strategy in the free program & rdquo ;.

SHORT PROGRAM PAIRS OF ARTISTIC
Fedor Klimov & ndash; & Ldquo; The performance today & egrave; It was of a high standard. We ran almost everything well & Igrave; as we had planned. After Skate America we trained hard and we were able to fix some things that were not working to the best & rdquo ;.
Alexander Smirnov & ndash; & Ldquo; We have performed well all the elements pi & ugrave; difficult even though we were a bit & rsquo; nerve to the fact skate in the house. We want to thank the fans for their support. After the Cup of China we were able to work better on the quadruple Rittberger and we intend to propose it again tomorrow & rdquo ;.
Hao Zhang & ndash; & Ldquo; We have not been able to train for six days because & eacute; after Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard in China and then we came back from China we reached Moscow. Basically, yesterday we made the first workout. So, in light of the situation I can say that we behaved very well & rdquo ;.

FEMALE SHORT PROGRAM
Elena radionova & ndash; & Ldquo; I am very happy for what has been done today, but I can express myself better and I know where I can progress. Eventually I started crying because & eacute; I know what I went in & rsquo; last period between pain and strong emotions. Precisely because of & rsquo; emotion I could not hold back the tears & rdquo ;.
Alaine Chartrand & ndash; & Ldquo; I am excited to be back in Russia. Last season & egrave; was really excited to compete in Moscow because I won the short program, finishing the race on the podium. I set my personal best in the short program, and today we are successful again. I worked a lot in & rsquo; last period and are pleased to see what I could do today & rdquo ;.
Evgenia Medvedeva & nbsp; - & Ldquo; I am not at all happy because & eacute; I can do much better. I'll try & ograve; to redeem tomorrow in the free program. The fall in the triple flip & egrave; was unexpected because & eacute; in training I had never had any problems. The reason of & rsquo; error not know him, but everyone makes mistakes and you have to work on the mistakes to grow both mentally and physically & rdquo ;.
