FEMALE SHORT PROGRAM
Alaine Chartrand: & ldquo; I got off the track trying to express myself to the best of my possibilities & agrave; and I'm happy with the result. L & rsquo; s aim was to improve than at Skate Canada, where I closed the short program only in seventh place. For me, in particular, it was important to be able to jump clean. To get better than at Skate Canada, I tried to stay longer & ugrave; relaxed as possible & rdquo ;.
Rika Hongo: & ldquo; I am very satisfied with my performance because & eacute; I made the most of every element planned. For me the & rsquo; s aim was to improve the outcome of Skate Canada and so I tried to take more & ugrave; attention to different aspects together with my coach & rdquo;
Anna Pogorilaya: & ldquo; I am not at all satisfied with the way I performed most of the elements. In any event, skate at home & egrave; been a great experience. Fortunately, the audience appreciated my performance & rdquo;

SHORT PROGRAM PAIRS OF ART
Fedor Klimov & ndash; & Ldquo; The performance today & egrave; was decent, nothing more & ugrave ;. The first part of the program & egrave; was filed in a positive way, but there were too many mistakes in the second half & agrave ;. We know that there are several aspects we need to work and perci & ograve; we think we can improve. In any case, the & rsquo; s overall impression produced by the program & egrave; was positive, that makes us happy & rdquo ;.
Vladimir Morozov & ndash; & Ldquo; Ice skating in the house helped us a lot and most of all we were able to take advantage of the support of the public. From today's race we have made so many positive feelings. We're always working to skate our best short program and therefore in every competition we're getting a better score & rdquo ;.
Alexei Rogonov & ndash; & Ldquo; Being able to use the music sung because I find it positive & eacute; ensures more & ugrave; choice. We, being a couple of recent formation, we decided to experiment and we used the music sung & rdquo ;.
& Nbsp;
MEN'S SHORT PROGRAM
Javier Fernandez: & ldquo; Today & egrave; I had a blast skating and the program & egrave; turned out good. However, it & egrave; perfect perch & eacute; I made a couple of mistakes and I'm sure you can do better. Things turned out, however, in a more & ugrave; positive than at Skate Canada. I think I can skate a free better than the previous race and will try & ograve; to do our best to qualify for the final in Barcelona & rdquo ;.
Sergei Voronov & ndash; & Ldquo; I am satisfied with my performance because & eacute; every piece of the puzzle & egrave; been put in place. The jumps have worked the best and I do not hide that I enjoyed. We hope that the performance of tomorrow is worse than today. I still believe we can improve on a couple of issues & rdquo ;.
Takahiko Kozuka: & ldquo; With respect to Skate Canada I feel much better and most of all I ritovato the desire to compete. Finally, in the race I managed to struggle to get a good result and my intention & egrave; to fight even in the free program & rdquo ;.
SHORT DANCE
Madison Chock: & ldquo; In the course of the competition, everything is becoming more & ugrave; easy because & eacute; pi & ugrave; you race more & ugrave; it masters programs. & nbsp; By now we have a special relationship with our racing programs that have become a part of us. This is why we try to run each time in a better way, as we managed to do today & rdquo ;.
Ruslan Zhiganshin: & ldquo; Today it felt great although after returning from China we had a day and a half on hand to be able to train. In any case, even after this competition there will be & agrave; time for relaxation & rdquo ;.
Penny Coomes: & ldquo; As a rule, before the Grand Prix, we like to take part in other races because & eacute; non & egrave; never can understand the value of a program if you try it in a competition in the presence of adversaries. Today I made a mistake on the twizzles and for that I feel a little & rsquo; crushed, but otherwise I think we could do a good job & rdquo ;.
