Ivan Shmuratko 🇺🇦- 72.14 - showed a very emotional skate tonight: “It was a pleasure to skate here tonight. I went back to train in Ukraine because it‘s my home. This Short Program is about life. And for us life is also death. This is what I tell in my program. A child is born and raised and enjoys a normal life and then during the middle part you can hear the rockets flying. And you can‘t tell anymore if we will still be living tomorrow. There is a real war happening out there. And it‘s one of my missions coming out of Ukraine to tell the stories through my art and my voice. It‘s my way to fight for my counrty. And I do the best I can.“ About his SP song: “It is a great honour to skate to this music. It’s an outstanding tune and it’s a great song for my country. I came across this song though one of the videos about the war. I created this program a month ago together with a friend within three days. Right now I only show the start of the full picture.“ #NepelaMemorial
