First of questions from reporters, the dancers were invited to comment on the performance just submitted on the ice. Soloviev: Before taking the initial pose to Ekaterina I said that we are not just skating, we're dancing.
Bobrova: When your partner will transmit energy, he in turn gain energy from you - let the fact that these are the moments for which we train so hard.
Weaver Andrew and I are very happy with our performance. We performed all at home, we felt at home. Unfortunately, this was not reflected at all in our technical score, is a dance and we'll work hard for the final grand prix.
Tkachenko: We also are happy with how we skated today, the attainment levels are lower compared to the previous Grand Prix but it is just a sign that we must continue to work harder, perhaps with technical specialist: specialist saw several key points different. The audience was fantastic, we are very happy.
Application for Weaver / Poje: you have said to be satisfied with your short but there is a difference of 9 points compared to your best score of the season. Can you explain why, do you really think that he skated very differently?
Poje: Actually we felt better, stronger here than the Canadian stop, so the score was a surprise. On our return home we will try to figure out what exactly was different than our previous races and will be working on these issues in order to improve the technical score.
Application for Bobrova / Soloviev and Riazanova / Tkachenko: how important is for you to skate well at home?
Bobrova: Here are our relatives, those who support us forever. It 's different to watch a program on television and see it live, so we kept to the very fact that they could "feel" our programs and how we live them, especially in this situation where there are just friends and family.
Tkachenko: Even for us it is very important to have relatives and friends in attendance who came to see us. For two years we have participated in the Russian stage and our loved ones we could only watch on television. Having them here is reflected on our mood and how been skating, we are excited to be able to skate in front of an audience composed not only by fans but also by relatives and friends.
