Nikolaj Majorov, 19, feels ready and is aiming for the medals in the figure skating European Championships, which begin on Wednesday.

Last time it was a 27th place. Now he is all the more ready:

- I have set higher demands than last time, then it was more that I felt what it was like to compete in major championships. This year I know how things are going and I have higher expectations, says Nikolaj Majorov to SVT Sport.

"Shouldn't be a problem"

- Absolutely, my goal is to make it to the final and I will. It should not be a problem if I go as I have done on training and recent competitions, like SM (one), then it will be fine I think.

The European Championships take place in Graz, Austria, between January 20-26.
