Interview in Swedish (machine translates pretty well): http://skatesweden.se/nyheter/alexander-majorov-avslutar-en-fantastisk-karriar/
Excerpt from the end:
Can you imagine becoming a coach? Or maybe a choreographer?
- Maybe coaches at camp, but not full time. I am a trained physiotherapist, I will certainly work with it.
- I have done a number of programs as a choreographer, it would be fun to continue as well. But how much I do not know.
Which people have meant the most to you in your career?
- My family has obviously meant the most in the competition career, but I had not been as good as I am today. I have received training from my father, choreography and dance from my mother, and I have had my little brother Nikolaj as a training buddy. They have taught me to take responsibility for my training in recent years and to trust my knowledge.
- Everyone in the union has had a great significance, even those who have stopped during my career. They have almost become like a second family, and I have had strong faith in them. I would therefore like to thank the Swedish Figure Skating Association for all support and all memorable years. And I want to thank all the figure skating friends I have met. Two to be mentioned in particular, it is Kristoffer Berntsson and Adrian Schultheiss. Although I didn't have the time to get to know them well, it was those who made me start jumping triple shoulder and quadruple jump. I looked very much up to them in my teens.
What do you want to say to everyone who has you as a role model and who wants to become good figure skaters?
- Dare to find your own way. There is no good answer to how to be good, you have to find your concept and dare to try it.
