“First of all, we could have avoided a stupid mistake on my part in the short program,” Boikova said in an interview with RT.
She also believes that the duo could have performed a free program more emotionally, but noted that they needed absolute control for a clean performance.
At the same time, her partner added that a good performance at a particular box office is far from everything that athletes think about.
“There is such a thing as a busy place.
The first thing that comes to mind in this regard is Saitama, 2019 World Championships, men's free skate.
Yuzuru Hanyu comes out and rolls a masterpiece.
And after him comes Nathan Chen, his program is perceived as an even greater masterpiece, and no one remembers exactly how Hanyu skated, because he is only the second.
And everyone will always remember that championship as a competition where Chen skated in an absolutely amazing way and won, ”Kozlovsky emphasized.
Earlier, three-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina appreciated the performance of Russian couples at the European Championship in figure skating.
