Question for Patrick Chan: you've improved your personal best and set a new record, what do you think?
Chan: I did not even realize I did it, I was just very, very happy to have skated well and I was not exactly perfect during the rotations of slati, but I guess that'' s workout is served at this juncture. In these cases, even when you are not perfectly aligned in the air phase of the jump, you can save the most of the situation. I was happy with how I skated, I love the fact that he returned to compete in a track regulations. I can push to the limit and leave "expand" the program, I must restrain myself. I hope I have the same feeling tomorrow.
Application for Yuzuru Hanyu: What do you think of your program and the fact that you've gotten your personal best seasonal and absolute? When I got out I realized that the score was less than that of Patrick, but I was happy. I still have many things on which to improve, spins, steps, and it is a program that ferries me with ease in'' approach to free.
Question Jason Brown: This is your second grand prix and you find yourself in the top 3, what do you think.
Brown:'' It's a great honor to be alongside these guys, I looked at them as models for years. My goal is always to get a personal best. I hope this is only the beginning of my viaggio.Domanda'' for Patrick Chan: Looking in particular your feet, you can see how your steps are sought and interpretati.Come you do it?
Chan: My former coach, Mr.Colson, belonged to an old school. Together we spent a lot of time on so-called skating skills, throughout the years. Then maybe I committed errors during the program anyway, but I've developed a good grasp of the wires. Since I started working with Katie, we have improved the synchronization of breathing, bending the knees and everything works when you develop a good rhythm. Everything revolves around the rhythm of your body, music, when everything is synchronized has a great effect, I guess it's one of the best quality.
Question for Patrick Chan: You mentioned that you wanted to unleash a new kind of skating. Brown also showed a different style, are you proud of?
Chan: I find it amazing that people want to look like me but every skater is unique in its own way, and each makes its own contribution. I could never skate like they do or Jason Han Yan, but I'm happy to see more and more quadruple jumps in the men's race. If we think of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic race than that which will be held at the Olympic Games in Sochi, on paper many more skaters take four times, far more than in Vancouver. I think this demonstrates how the discipline is evolving male, I'm happy to be part of this development and hope to push the limits of the sport to another level.
Think you're a trend-setter? Perhaps other skaters are following in your footsteps ..
Chan: I do not know, for me when I love what I do and the way the shoe. I think it is important to emphasize that in order to be among the best in this sport you have to have the jumps, the spins, the skating skills and transitions. There are so many technically talented skaters who are not just at the level of program components.
'' It was important for you to have broken the world record?
Chan: That was the icing on the cake that does not particularly wanted, I think it's great but at this point in my career I look especially at the Olympics, perhaps to make the world record there. For now, I look only to that race, the fact is simply to set the record più.Domanda good news for everyone. It'''' s Olympic year: think of all the time in the race in Sochi, as you confront this pressure?
Brown: I think without a doubt often, but it's my first season in senior and first of all look at the national championships, I have to skate well at this juncture. My main goal is to progress and skate cleanly when gareggierò there.
Hanyu: To tell the truth I do not think so at the Olympics while I train every day, I just do what I can during the races and try to do what I run every day.
Chan: I was lucky to be able to prove the'' experience with the Olympic Games in Vancouver, honestly I do not think anything will ever be comparable to what is experienced there in terms of energy and emotion, being Canadian. Yes, I always think in Sochi, there are many expectations and to be able to prepare well in training, when I'm tired, I tell myself that there are times that it is really worth it, as the Olympic Games. It seeks to create a "layer" of resistance by external events, or situations that can be daunting and influence the way in which the shoe. I keep telling myself that it is all a preparation for the Olympics.
Question for Patrick Chan: France takes you well, you've won here two years ago, the short and the world of Nice.
Chan: I love to skate in France, in fact, brings me good, I skated well in the past and it is great to skate in front of the French public, they are all very warm, especially with Amodio in the heating unit were equally thrilled with all the other . All this will help me during the free, when I tend to get tired towards the end.
Question for Jason Brown: only you and two other skaters have achieved a degree of positive performance on all items. Thanks to this you find yourself in the third position, can you explain how difficult it is to get such a result?
Brown: In the last two years I've always got positive grades of execution, so I focused a lot on this aspect, on trying to be precise about the elements. I hope that the technical content and jump to progress over time.
Application for Hanyu: it was a great performance, now what are your new goals?
Hanyu: I am very happy with the short program, I have not missed an item. I have new evidence on which to improve, the steps were Level 3 and I can also get the best grades of execution. I'm not planning to break the wall of 98 points, but the'' last year in Japan I got 93, so I can improve. I would like to get scores for all migliori.Domanda: As for Plushenko Welcome Return to the races, what do you think? He said that his biggest competitor is Hanyu.
Chan: the question is directed at me? Well, I think it will be great for him to be able to skate in the Olympics at home. '' It's really very hard to predict how it will make in the circumstances, since they did not participate in the races. The sport has changed a lot since then for him to return to Vancouver is quite a challenge. What he brought to the race four years ago, it was something different ... good for him if he can skate in Sochi and to bring all the quad that was a time. We have all participated in the grand prix, we ran several programs not only in training but also in the race. He wasted no time with the'' injury and rehabilitation, so it will be hard for him. It will still be great, he has been at the top in the past, I know that is very determined to succeed in'' then if we succeed it will be exciting for all of us.
Hanyu: First of all it is a great honor to hear what he said about me and I'm very glad to know that I believed a rival - I thank him for that. I still have many things to improve, so I hope to make progress in view of Sochi where Plushenko back in the race and where I will be able to compare with him.
