Adelina Sotnikova (18, Russia), the women's single figure skating champion at the Sochi Winter Olympics, said she would do a four-round jump to maintain her top position.
"We are preparing for next season's program," Sotnikova said at a press conference after participating in the St. Petersburg Ice Show in Russia on the 31st (Korea time), adding, "The music is complicated." There are two 3+3 combination jumps in it," he said.
He also made a surprise declaration, saying, "I want to learn quadruple toe loop," and explained, "It's difficult to succeed right away, but we always need high skills to be guaranteed to win."
Quadruple toe loop is a technique that takes four turns in the air while soaring upward while taking the ice with the teeth in front of the skate.
