SAMARA, November 19, Vlad Zhukov. Silver medalist of the European Championship -2019 Alexander Samarin said that he caught a cold before leaving for the Russian Grand Prix in Samara, and during the performance of his free program his nose could not breathe.
Samarin became third at the Russian Grand Prix stage in Samara.
“”I'm glad that I lived to see the end of the tournament, because the day before I left I caught a cold. Yesterday was the peak of my painful condition, and I made it through without any major breakdowns. Today I can't breathe through my nose, with this it was very difficult to perform the free program, which is difficult to skate even in a healthy state. It turned out to be a quadruple lutz, but on the second quadruple lutz I realized that it was not worth going to,” Samarin told reporters.
“Thank you to the audience, they greeted us very warmly, it's nice. I don't understand why there is such love here specifically. Thank you very much to Stas Zakharov, he came here and did a lot to ensure that we push through this start. (Svetlana Sokolovskaya) all thoughts and sent energy to me, and we managed,” Samarin noted.
