Rebecca: <\/strong>I began from roller skating when I was 9. I changed to ice skating at 15. I began to dance at 18.<\/p>\n
Sergey: <\/strong>Actually, Rebecca and I came here together. She is originally from the states, but we lived together for some time in Moscow. We simply decided to make our life here in the US. I have lived in the here for 2 years.<\/p>\n
Rebecca:<\/strong> No<\/p>\n
One day we decided to try skating together. We liked it and kept going.<\/p>\n
Of course we had technical corrections from our coaches, and a lot run-through’s, but I don’t think training for Nationals is done just before Nationals…It started back in the summer when we did really strong off-ice training. For 3 weeks all we did was work in the gym and run cross-country like Forest Gump! We tried take the strength we gained in the summer and build on it through the rest of the year.<\/p>\n
We wanted to skate very well in every portion of the competition.<\/p>\n
We think we met our goal this year. We were really proud of how we skated our programs because we did everything in full energy and power, and I think we left a good impression. We really felt great after this event!<\/p>\n
Hopefully, we will be ready for Lake Placid in August. After that we will decide what to do next.<\/p>\n
Rebecca:<\/strong> I am only beginning to learn the Golden Waltz, but I think it is already my favorite.<\/p>\n
Gritchuk and Platov<\/p>\n
Rebecca:<\/strong> Sergey really likes to sleep and eat red meat. He is also very good with computers; he built and programmed our computer.<\/p>\n
