Read here about Adrian's impressions of WCH in his home town, about his new program, plans for summer and about operation in his foot.
-WCH 2008 was in Göteborg, your home city. What are your impressions from that event?  - Organization was very good, on high level. But I’m not satisfied with the advertisement. They did a bad job in my opinion. They had advertisement and such things everywhere for WCH in Sweden with Kristoffer and Viktoria, but not with me. I was very disappointed because of that. They knew about that, because I said it to newspapers, but I did not receive any answer. Concerning competition I’m very satisfied. I showed good skating in both short and free program. I was scared because the crowd was so crazy , but after all it felt so good, it could not have been much better at that moment. I would like to thank the crowd for the support. -Retell about the competition Japan Open. What was the point of this competition, your thoughts about it? -It was a good experience and good skaters were there. But it was hard, because I landed in Japan the day before the competition, so it was hard to get used to the time difference and I was extremely tired after the long flight. -Tell me about the operation in your foot. -I had an operation in my left foot because I got pain while jumping toeloop. Concerning surgery everything went good and it’s getting better and better. I started the same day to walk and easy rehab and in 3 weeks I will start slow on ice and off ice practice.
-What ideas do you have about your new programs for the new season? - I have changed my free program and I will keep the short. The free program is done and I’m really happy with it, it’s very new and exciting. I worked with Igor Luytikov. He works with shows in many countries. He is from Russia, a former skater and dancer. My coach is his friend, so he invited Igor to work with me. Igor gave me much inspiration and made me move more on the ice. The work was very successful. The type of music of my new program is like modern style of some old musik, a dj version, similar to my short with a lot of violin and drums and so on, but anyhow not the same. -Would you tell us about your plans for this summer? -First, I will rest and rehab for 2 more weeks. After that I go to Säffle physical camp for one week, and after that an ice camp for another 2 weeks there. Then I will have 2 weeks of vacation and will go to Austria and Italy to rest. In August I will go to USA for 2 weeks and work with Morosov. Igor Luytikov will be there and I will have an opportunity to practice with other good skaters. After that it’s national camp and beginning of season. |
