SHORT DANCE
Kaytlin WEAVER - & ldquo; It & rsquo; was a great honor to skate our short-dance in Barcelona. Here c & rsquo; & egrave; a & rsquo; incredible atmosphere. We tried to immerse ourselves in the best context in obtaining great energy and emotions. In any case, I think from the technical point of view we can do more & ugrave; & rdquo;
Evan BATES & ndash; & Ldquo; A Career & egrave; of ups and downs. This season, we have so far had great performances, but also happens to be a bad day. Just from the mistakes you can & ograve; learn a lot for the future. For the free dance, we expect a ransom and l & rsquo; objective & egrave; skate a clean program & rdquo;
Alex Shibutani & ndash; & Ldquo; We felt very welcome and we skated the best short-dance of the season. We are really pleased with the performance. After the Grand Prix events and ISU Challenger Series which we participated, we made the most of the information received by making a few tweaks here and there & agrave; & rdquo;
PROGRAM SHORT MEN
Yuzuru Hanyu & ndash; & Ldquo; I can not say I have skated the best of my chance & agrave ;, but I felt comfortable and I'm still really pleased. Today, compared to Cup of China and NHK Trophy, I had a better condition, but, in general, I still need to workout for the short program and in particular for the combination & rdquo;
Tatsuki MACHIDA & ndash; & Ldquo; My second qualifying round & egrave; was in Europe and not & egrave; been too long before they compete in Barcelona. This situation both mentally and physically & egrave; was easy to deal with, but he still tried to do the maximum possible. I do not feel in the best condition and even after the & rsquo; workout in the morning I was desperate. To this I can say that I managed to pull off a good performance, that makes me proud & rdquo;
Maxim Kovtun & ndash; & Ldquo; I can be satisfied. Last year, at the first end of my career, I was very nervous. Here & ograve; I felt well prepared and ready to comment on the usual levels of & rsquo; workout. I made a couple of errors related to the & rsquo; emotion, but, to avoid steps to empty, will have & ograve; learn to concentrate better. & Nbsp; In view of the free, for me sar & agrave; best not to get on track to last as short program. They are in a good position to play my something important & rdquo;
