New Mishin interview. This is probably the most praise I've seen from him for Sasha. He is very cautious about Sasha's prospects, which is a good thing.
- In Warsaw, also won the Alexander Petrov. Satisfied with his performance?
- Yes, very. Sasha general, both programs performed flawlessly. I think he is skating on now could compete at the Grand Prix stages and be there not the least of Russian participants. He will now prepare for the final of the Junior Grand Prix, where only selected from the Russians. Fly to Barcelona with all major adult skaters will compete and juniors.
- When Petrov will compete for entering into the senior team?
- Sports career should be built gradually. Sasha until now stands among the juniors, and next year we will ride among adults. He now serves on the adult tournaments - both in Warsaw, where he beat a very strong Filipino Michael Martinez, who participated in the Olympic Games, many trained in Russia. Petrov - only 15 years old, so it is too early to talk about adult tournaments or win over Maxim Kovtun. But enter the adult contest worthy - is another matter.
- This year, Petrov will perform at the championship of Russia?
- Required. And I think, at the end will be at the top of the standings, although there are mainly adult athletes will compete.

Let's wish the best for him. He has a good LP and best presentation IMo. Rock it boy!!Heck with the judges and their score manipulation. I just want him to skate the best that he can. Today was definitely a brainfart on his part. Like Mishin says "you can only lose to yourself".
