Sofia Samodelkina Updates

🥉🇰🇿 Sofia SAMODELKINA 136.35 / 182.63 “I feel good. I was pretty sick like three days ago, so it was pretty tough in the free program. I mean, I had an under-rotation — I will work on it. And I am excited now to go to Raf, to see him, and to start the preparation for the second half of the season. I love this season, actually. I really love my short. I felt a bit sad that I didn’t have more competitions because I really like this program and I want to show it more. So maybe… I want to skate this program next year too — who knows. But really, I love this season. NHK and Cranberry Cup were such good competitions, such good new experiences for me. I really loved it. This being my second senior season, I feel more experienced and relaxed. Of course, you are always a little bit nervous, but you really have to focus. On the good relations within the group of Rafael Arutyunyan: “it’s really cool, because I see Mikhail, Daniel and more of the guys here and I’m like, wow… these are all my friends, and it’s really good to go to competitions together. Right now, I think after my performance we’re going to go to a café and just eat and speak because I really miss them. I am really excited to go back to Rafael and prepare for my Olympic performances.” #FigureSkating #GoldenSpin

Sofia Samodelkina (KAZ) 2./200.00 I feel so tired and I feel excited because I didn't expect this because I had mistakes in my program. For me, it's something really, really good. When I saw I had the silver medal, I was so excited. It's a good motivation to keep going. I got just one Grand Prix. My coach Rafael (Arutiunian) told me maybe after my NHK Trophy I maybe I will get an opportunity to go to Skate America or Finland. If I get it, I will be happy. My next competition is going to be a Challenger, maybe Tallinn or Zagreb. #figureskating #gpfigure #nhktrophy

Sofia Samodelkina (KAZ) 67.75 SB I feel great and confident. My coach Rafael (Arutiunian) and my doctor from Kazakhstan are here with me and that is a great support for me. I saw how the people in the stands give a lot of applause for everyone and they started to clap along when the music changed. That was great. I'm so excited that I did a good job today. I was a little nervous as this is my first Grand Prix, but it' great to be here. My preparation was difficult. I twisted my knee and I couldn't skate for 2 months. I only went to Rafael to train 12 days ago but I practiced my jumps a lot. #figureskating #gpfigure #nhktrophy
