If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump quad, I don't know. Now it's not figure skating. Now it's dancing.

At school I fought sometimes. Kids were saying that figure skating is sport for the girls. Then I had to prove them wrong.

My main competitor is myself.

It doesn't matter what kind of result will be in the end. I already win for myself.

I can skate beautifully. While performing on ice I always try to please the audience and to win as well. Being artistic is very important to get the audience on your side. As for a competition, you can't win without strong technical content.

Viktor Petrenko and I met at a competition, where I beat him completely accidentally. I felt so embarrassed in front of my idol.

I try not to think about marks, the first place or gold medal. The most important thing is to show what you are capable of on ice. The rest will come on its own.
