Maya Khromykh: “There was a desire to end my career.
“Probably the fact that I pulled out the first number helped me. When there were pre-Olympic skates, I also pulled out the first number and skated the program well. This is not my first difficulty, I’m used to it.
There was a desire to finish. Quite often, even this season. But I thought that I was sorry to quit. That I endured, waited, believed. Therefore, it seems to me that I will endure this period, I will ride for a long time. I want this.
We work as before. Sometimes the load is less because I’m heavier, that’s true. And so Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze) can spur things on in her own style. But only in a good way,” Khromykh said.
