“The first part of our performance was good. But we were not too satisfied with how we skated tonight, it did not really represent our level during recent training.”
“In the year 2000, finishing in the world top ten was our aim, and when we made it we thought that being in the top six would be enough. After reaching that goal, we realized that the world top three was so close and at that time we found it easy to surpass one skater after another.”
“We still have to make up the classes on basic skating skills and we need to further perfect them at the same time. Although it is hard for us, we won't give up.”
“After winning bronze at the worlds, we found that to make even slight progress was very difficult and sometimes we even went backwards, which depressed us very much. Since we thought too much about these things, we didn't fully focus on our training and skated badly last season.”
