MOSCOW, Oct 16 Bronze medalist of the World Figure Skating Championship Artur Gachinsky told about the impressions of the trip to the ice show in North Korea. The skater performed in the DPRK in 2016. Together with him, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Canadian Elijah Balde and a dance couple from Belarus participated in the show.
"The trip left the most positive emotions. No negative, only positive. To describe North Korea in three words, it is unexpected, surprising and pleasant. There were two shows and training. We got to know their athletes. It turns out that figure skating is developing well within the country. The guys owned quads, one jumped somersaults back. Dancing couples are good, everyone knew how. We received quite generous fees & # 34;, — the skater told the publication & # 34; Sport-Express & # 34;.
Gachinsky ended his career in 2015. He has the bronze of the World Championship and the silver of the European Championship. At the moment, Gachinsky works as a coach.
