“To be honest, I didn't expect to win. So far, no emotions, rather in shock. I do not think that I am the leader of the national team. Today - perhaps not at all, ”said Kondratyuk.

When asked who he considered the leader of the national team, Kondratyuk nodded at Mikhail Kolyada, who was sitting next to him.

Figure skater Kondratyuk won the Russian championship for the first time Figure skating Kondratyuk on Friday became the champion of Russia for the first time, ahead of the three-time champion of Russia Kolyada by 0.67 points.

Kolyada said, in turn, that "not everything worked out for him at the tournament."

“I skated with strong emotions. I think the program started playing again. I haven't rolled it for a long time. When the Grand Prix finals were canceled, they decided to return to the "Crow". I had to roll it over again. Of course, I'm worried about the main starts of the season. But there was no excitement before today's rental. Was I sure that I was in the top three? These are too loud words. Mark Kondratyuk is great, ”said Kolyada.
