First of questions from reporters, the skaters were invited to comment on the performance just submitted on the ice.
Lipnitskaya: For me, the real news is that for the first time I was not nervous. They are usually always nervous, but today I was completely calm down on the ice.
Kostner: I really enjoyed skating today. The moment I got off the ice I felt the same feeling of the beautiful world in 2005 (just organized in Moscow, ed.) It 'nice to still be in health, race and think about all these past experiences. It 'been a pleasure to skate and I hope you enjoyed it to the public. Zawadzki: I am very happy with my performance today. Finally I was lying me, I finally did everything I know to do. I felt sure of myself, back in the day yesterday when I tried this ice. I skated as I do in training. It 's the fourth time I come here and I like it a lot.
 Question for Carolina Kostner: Have you participated in the World Cup here twice, what are your memories? Today you told me to be calm. What's Hot in the ice in Moscow?
Kostner: It 'a special feeling. It 's funny .. but when I competed in the World Cup of 2005 was the first time that I found myself in front of Michelle Kwan, who was my great childhood idol. It 's strange to see how much time has passed and now I'm the one in which young girls are inspired and which are so many questions. In 2005, I never even dreamed of following in the footsteps of Kwan is a great honor.
Question for Julia Lipnitskaya: You deserved a high score. Congratulations! In light of this, what are your goals for free?
Lipnitskaya: The goal is always the same: to skate clean.
For how many regards, however, the score?
Lipnitskaya: I never think to score. You just do your job, then there's the scores.
Kostner: I can only agree with Julia. You have to focus on what needs to be done. Do not depend on us.
Question for Carolina Kostner: As you said before, you've had a long and fruitful career. After the Olympics, think of retiring from racing or not?
Kostner: Actually I want to finish the season with the world championships, and the Olympic Games will not be my last race.
Question for Julia Lipnitskaya: Tell us something about the work of your choreographer (Averbukh), work together for the building of the program, or continue to work throughout the season?
Lipnitskaya: He rarely comes to training. The choreography is built at the end of the previous season.
In general, you are very critical with yourself and say that you can always do better. Do you think that today you could have done even better or you were really 100%? Lipnitskaya: There is always something to which you can aspire. I can skate better. Not the cleanest, but I could make something more complicated, for example I could move two jumps in the second part of the program: I could work on complexity.
 At the beginning of the program design something on the ice. What designs?
Lipnitskaya: Everyone sees what he wants.
