“I change about six pairs of skates per season.
The boots were absolutely new, generally “unrolled”.
But when we installed them, I measured them, they were very comfortable on the leg, which is very important, ”the FFKKR website quotes Shcherbakov.
She also said that it took 30-40 minutes a day to roll out the new skates because they didn't have unlimited time on the ice.
According to Shcherbakova, it was the first time she changed shoes so close to the competition.
Recall that the figure skater broke her skates at the Beijing Olympics on the eve of the start of short programs.
For this reason, she lightened the content and did not jump triple lutz + triple loop in the short program.
According to the results of the short and free programs, Shcherbakova won Olympic gold, scoring a total of 255.95 points.
Earlier, Shcherbakova said that when she didn’t get into the team tournament, everything seemed to collapse.
