It was very difficult to skate the program because I'm still not healthy. After the third minute I couldn't breathe. I was gulping for air, like a fish out of water.

The fight starts right now. Yeah, I have 10 points more than everybody and I'm happy with the result, of course. But I should perform the same like I did tonight in the free program. If I do my best, I can win first place.

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

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.
