Czech ice dance team Natalie Taschlerova and Filip Taschler spoke about the upcoming European Championships. Here’s a translation of their comments.
“The preparation was great; we’ve also worked a lot on the mental side. We’re ready,” announced Filip Taschler before the start of the competitions.
The routines needed minor adjustments. “Personally, I think that if we really had the exact same program we developed in the summer, we would be a little bored with it,” noted Natalie Taschlerova.
They consulted the changes with judges as well. “Especially in the free dance, we have about three new elements, a completely new choreographic step sequence. I think we feel better in it, the program is fuller, there are no empty spots,” added her brother, Filip.
They are satisfied with their performances in the autumn Grand Prix. They finished fourth both at Skate Canada and in Finland. “We’re healthy and that’s the main thing. We delivered what we could,” said Natalie.
Even after these results, the Taschlers are among the wider circle of favorites, having finished seventh at last year’s European Championships. However, they themselves don’t want to talk much about medals, although they admit that winning one is one of their dreams.
“If it happens, it happens, and if it doesn’t, we’ll try again next season,” Natalie remarked.
