skating figures enjoy
I took some time off to enjoy my life, but figure skating is something I love and something I will continue doing for the rest of my life.

And still I'm not completely happy with my skating. I always feel I can do more and climb higher.
stones singers rolling
I like to listen to different kinds of music - it just depends on my mood. I love Madonna, Russian singers... I like the Rolling Stones a lot!
letting-go ice land
My weaknesses are my jumps. The reason is that although I land them in practice, when I actually compete or perform, I should let my body go and stabilize my mind better. Also, I need to work on not letting negative thoughts and emotions get to me on the ice.
different kind skater
I'd like to consider myself a versatile skater and I like to skate to different kinds of music.
