- We are satisfied with both programs. They showed what they were ready for at the moment. We know where to add, what can be improved, what to make a little stronger, more powerful and more confident, - Smolkin told reporters. - But now we have an understanding of what to prepare for the World Cup, which will take place in a month. There are many plans and ambitions, but we do not think too far. It is useless to think about the 2026 Olympics in Milan.

The partner also shared his impressions of the duo's debut Olympics in Beijing 2022.

- We mainly supported the skaters, - Gleb noted - But still, there is a feeling that you are present at a holiday that will not be repeated in the next four years. And it creates a special feeling.
