"В Японии прокат у меня был заметно чище, легче, я за него получила больше "плюсов", и по технике набрала там больше баллов. Но я рада, что смогла здесь собраться после неудачной короткой программы и показать более достойное катание", - сказала Цурская.
"То, что я оказалась на восьмом месте после короткой программы, конечно, на меня давило, но по баллам отрыв был не такой уж большой. Нужно было попытаться побороться и показать себя. Мне помогли тренеры, родители, друзья - и (бронзовый медалист Skate America) Сергей Воронов очень помог. Оказал психологическую поддержку", - добавила фигуристка.
Несмотря на то, что Цурской не удалось выйти в Финал Гран-при, она позитивно оценивает выступление на этапах серии.
"У меня была очень сложная подготовка, полтора года мучили травмы, долго не могла начать полноценно тренироваться и войти в сезон. После удачного этапа в Японии у меня появились силы, вдохновение и желание кататься дальше. Буду теперь совершенствоваться и бороться на каждом старте за высокие позиции", - заключила спортсменка.

I was so happy and impressed to see Polina live at Skate America, despite the fact that she did not have her best skate. I was cheering so hard for her with a poster that I made, and I think she saw it before SP warm-ups, smiled and pointed to her coach! I was also so glad that Sergei Dudakov came instead of Eteri because he seemed more understanding and supportive, no criticism right away or passive-aggression like what Eteri did when she handed the skate guard to Alina last time.

Sergei is also the nicest Russian coach whom I have ever met! After the competition ended and my volunteer shift was over, I saw Sergei, showed my poster to him and asked him where Polina was and if I could take a photo with her and ask her to sign my poster and the photograh that I brought with me. He actually went to knock on the door of the locker room to let her know that I was waiting for her, and OMG I felt so embarrased and thrilled at the same time! While waiting for Polina to come out, he told me that Polina broke her back last year, but she's fine now and just needs more time to be her best. Eventually Polina came out, and all three of us took a photo together! Sergei was a little surprised when I asked him to be in the photo but happy to do so! I told her how much I love her skating and wished her good luck with the Russian Nationals, and she thanked me.

I was worried that she was obviously disappointed. But then when she came out on the ice for the practice before the gala, she seemed to have forgotten the disappointment and was circling around the ice with her phone, video chatting, laugning, so nice to take photos with the audience and signing autographs. I felt happy to see her having some fun at the gala in the end!
