You were a newer member of the Tutberizde team, you weren’t used to the strict diets and 13 hour training sessions. You started on the team 3 months ago and you have improved a lot but it’s obvious you’ve lost a lot of weight. You’re originally from St Petersburg and moved to live with your aunt in Moscow, thats when you got signed up with Eteri Tutberizde. You’re mother hadn’t seen you since the move and this competition would be the first time she’d see you, along with the world seeing you for the first time, this was your first big competition with cameras and an arena full of people. You knew they were there for the more talented and important skaters like Alexandra Trusova, Anna Shcherbakova, Aliona Kostornaia, Kamila Valieva and Alina Zagitova.

You weren’t used to the flashing cameras and the loud people, you were very overwhelmed and you saw the look on your mothers face when she saw you for the first time. You guys don’t have the best relationship but she looked almost concerned. You could see your older sister, Mia, she looked proud and she had a sign for you.

All the other girls looked confident and they greeted fans and waving to their family, you stuck to Alexandra like a shadow, she hated cameras too but she never let them know she was nervous.
