Sofia Samodelkina, who now represent Kazakhstan, shared her emotions about competing at the 2025 World Championships in Boston. Quoted by Sports correspondent Maya Bagriantseva. Here’s a translation.
“Today, during practice at the main arena, I looked around and suddenly realized, ‘Sonya, you’re at the World Championships.’ If someone had told me this a year ago, I would never have believed it.
There are so many emotions — it’s both nerve-wracking and joyful. And having Rafael Arutyunyan behind the boards is both an enormous source of support and a big responsibility.
We have a big team here: Misha Shaidorov, who I’ll definitely be cheering for; coach Elmira Turganova; and, of course, Andrew Torgashev, who trains with us in California.
I’m so, so happy to be here,” said Sofia Samodelkina.
