Russian figure skater Seraphima Sahanovich talked about her emotions before the short program at the Grand Prix Skate America. We remind that Sahanovich replaced Anna Pogorilaya, forced to withdraw from the stage due to injury. Serafima is currently 5th after the short program with 66,28 points.
"I thought there would be less points — for example, 62-63. But not 66! Especially in the Grand Prix, adult skate, and I'm here like — Hello, the replacement arrived. In general, never thought this would happen.
This is the first time Evgeniy goes everywhere with me in the competition. He is constantly with me. At first i was a little nervous, but in the end, during the performance I wasn't nervous. In the warm-up I cut my leg with the skate, but it's ok — the worse is that I broke my skate. In the warm up I found it difficult to lace up, and that could be the reason why I was making mistakes. In the short program everything was fine.
At first I was a little tense when I found out that Evgeniy is coming. I have been reading comments on the Internet: "Evgeniy is coming, he cancelled a show in Europe because of her, she must skate well". Actually not because of me, and I don't owe anyone anything. I only need to prove to myself that I can do my job. But in the end his arrival helped me. He says right words, after which I become very confident. Before going on the ice he said to me "we lose nothing, we take what is ours" — said Sahanovich.
