Aliya manages a troublesome line of questioning during this Russia 2 interview
A great series of short interviews with some of the main players in last week's European Games - Nikita Ignatyev, Sergei Starkin and Aliya Mustafina. Many, many thanks to Olesya Mikheeva who did the translation.
Nikita: Right away, I got a little upset, you know, falling on one of the easier elements. I had already done all the hardest stuff, I probably let myself go emotionally for a second and lost concentration.
Nikita: "I'm very happy because it's my first medal in the all around, usually it's even hard to qualify into it."
Sergei: "New programme on bars, new programme on floor, and after this competition we'll correct form to prepare for Worlds, so I think in the fall she'll have different form and a stronger programme."
Aliya: "I won't keep this music for long. I'll perform to it at Worlds but then I'm going to change it."
Interviewer: Why? It's beautiful. I think it'd be amazing in Rio if Mustafina performed to 'My Way'.
Aliya: "Well because I already found different music."
Interviewer: You know this composer and the song and what it's about? If Mustafina came to her 2nd Olympics and performed to this song, the people in the stadium would cry.
Aliya: "Well, I don't think the stadium will cry. Primarily I think that the judges are looking at me and I think that by the Olympics, this music will be old already."
- will the other music be happy or something else dramatic?
Aliya: "It will be.... later. I can't say."
