If you rub stones together for a long time — sooner or later they wear down. Russian pair skating has finally reached the level of Russian women's skating in terms of competition. The strongest will survive here. The one who is stronger with his head is morally more stable. The one who at the Olympics will be stronger here and now — at the right time «, — said Kozlovsky at a press conference. Vladimir Morozov noted that he, along with Evgenia Tarasova, showed not his best, but still very good performance at the European Championship. «We skated well, we were confident and concentrated. We showed not the best, but very good performance.Only Maksim (Trankov) and Eteri (Tutberidze) were at the board tonight, because the organizers did not find enough accreditations for the whole team. her, we had the necessary support,» Morozov said.
