The European Championships are held in Tallinn on January 12-15. Kondratyuk cleanly performed the short program with two quadruple jumps. He received an estimate of 99.06 points. «It was a little harder to skate than in St. Petersburg, I don't know why. I felt it myself. Although I was even less worried, I still need to skate an arbitrary. Today I am mostly satisfied, but I still have to skate the day after tomorrow. . Tomorrow I will still have a training session, but I will walk around Tallinn. There are no special plans, «Kondratyuk told reporters.» I went to prepare (for the European Championship) to Novogorsk to change the situation. Sometimes it helps, «he added. Kondratyuk said that I have not yet had time to speak with the coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya. “She’s probably happy. When I go out on the ice, I don’t think about the points. When I saw the score of 99.06, I was surprised. I thought it would be less. Globally, the European Championship is no different from other tournaments — the same rental,” he concluded. the men will perform on Friday.
