Let's start from the pairs of art, where a more than satisfied Aliona Savchenko has described his performance: "I just had fun skating. It certainly was not easy, but nothing in life is. We're back: we will work hard and will continue to give our best. "Disappointed instead Volosozhar / Trankov, which speaks on behalf of Maxim Trankov:" We made mistakes and we did not give our best. These jumps are not usually wrong. However, we are pleased with our performance because we felt tonics and we were able to maintain high spirits after errors. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, we lost. "Even the dance contest has reserved some surprises, in fact, despite the triumph of Davis / White also Virtue / Moir have appeared in great shape and finally be able to heel rivals as well as training partners. "This week has been absolutely fantastic for us. We skated well just like in training, then that is what every athlete wants. Today we have just heard of being able to relate to the audience, to bring him to our performance. This is a big step on our journey towards the Olympic Games, "the words of Moir.Non equally uplifting the women's race, punctuated by a number of errors on the part of the athletes expected more. "I had a good feeling just before groped the triple axel, but then I fell. I'll have to train more. Falling so the first item slows you down a lot, but many fans cheering me and cheering for me, which prompted me to give my best, "said Mao Asada.
Always strict with herself, the young Julia Lipnitskaya, who said: "I did all I had today. There 's been better than in Canada, but there are still things to work on. I will try to improve myself more and more in view of Sochi. "We conclude with the men's race ended yesterday. Patrick Chan was unable to repeat the levels of the Grand Prix of Paris, but thanks to a very good recovery during the free program is still satisfied with the way the race: "Today was a great day for me, I'm very happy how I skated. I was very nervous and scared before shipping. It 'was a real mental battle for me from the moment I set foot on the ice onwards. For me, this is worth a gold medal because I learned that from me greater satisfaction than to skate a good program to win the gold. Paradoxically, it is the Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu, who won the title, to prove to be disappointed. " I am not satisfied with my performance. I knew that Patrick Chan had skated a clean program because I saw the standing ovation and the high score. I was aiming for a perfect program, it would have been nice to do a backup before Sochi. I think I was able to complete the program after missing the first four times thanks to the support of the Japanese public. "
