Artem Kovalev: I wish to be responsible for 2 people - myself and the coach

Artem Kovalev told us why he did not want to try his hand at pair skating.

"First of all, I want to be responsible for only two people - myself and my coach. In pairs skating, a third person is added. What if the horse suddenly goes sideways in support? What if you drop it? I don't want to have these problems. Plus there is a lot of pressure on my back, and I do not do well with it," he told Sport24.

But the skater did not rule out the possibility of taking part in the show "Ice Age": there the elements are simpler and there is no need to interact with a partner 24/7.
