In this interview we talked about his agenda, the decision to stay in competition for another season, the cost of success, the desire to make figure skating more popular around the globe, and some of his ideas on how to do so – and his deep admiration for the skating legends of the past.
The interview took place during Rostelecom Cup in Moscow, at the end of October – but after his glorious performance at Internationaux de France, we just couldn’t help reaching out to Misha for an addition to this talk. And so, a month later, we discussed, half enthusiastically, half smilingly, about the first Grand Prix medal of his career, and the electrifying exhibition number to music from the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey”.
