The current world champions in pair skating – figure skaters Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov – on Wednesday, January 12, after the rental of their short program, said that they did not even pay attention to the fact that they had set a world record.
“We did not pay attention to the record, the main thing is the cleanliness of the rental. We can be proud, the rental is not bad, we are happy to start the competition. We trained, walked around the city. Tallinn is not far from St. Petersburg, and we have never been here, “- quotes the words of Gallyamov TASS.
In turn, Mishina stressed that, despite the leadership, the couple’s motivation is all right. According to her, there are many athletes in the Russian national team, and the duo sets as their main task to stay in the team.
“When there is no one to compete with, it’s not interesting, but when there are close ones, it’s very motivating,” the figure skater concluded.
Earlier that day, Mishina and Gallyamov set a new world record for points scored in the pair skating short program at the European Figure Skating Championships in Tallinn. The sports couple scored 82.36 points. They are now in the lead after the short program at the European Championship, the Sport-Express newspaper reported.
The European Championship takes place from 10 to 16 January in Tallinn.
