Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva: We are glad that in such a tense atmosphere we got everything together. The coaches are happy and this is our greatest praise. I’m glad everything ended well.
Why is the situation tense?
Egor Bazin: It’s still the Olympic season. Not only one pair is trying to qualify for the Olympics. We all tried … Another thing is that we give our whole life for this chance. We train … We try …
Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva: And we play by the rules.
Egor Bazin: And this chance is being taken away from us. From all of us. Well, from many who would like to do this. I will not say who and what. Everyone knows it perfectly well. I do not offend anyone, but sport should remain a sport. And we want at least to have a chance, at least a chance to fight. Today we overcame ourselves. Once I’ve read that figure skating is a sport where you fight with yourself. Today we did it. Hope we’ll break into the next Olympic season.

Oh well! You athletes had your chance. You got third place in the nationals with 195.75 pts. Twelve points behind the second place and 27 points from the first.
Also, these results are better than the ones of the Rostelecom cup where you guys got eight place.
Now , I wonder what do you mean by “… chance is being taken away from us”
Egor Bazin said what everyone is thinking. The fix was in before the season even started.
