MS Sport｜2025中国杯赛后采访
2025中国杯，哈萨克斯坦男单选手米哈伊尔·沙伊多罗夫（Mikhail Shaidorov）以262.67分获得男单铜牌。
作为2025年世锦赛银牌得主，进入新的奥运赛季后，沙朵也开始面对与过去不同的期待和压力。
短节目结束后，他坦言自己在比赛中还是有一些紧张。
“有一些小失误，不过其实我自己没有特别感觉到。”
最近的比赛里，他已经逐渐习惯最后一个出场。对他来说，这甚至慢慢变成了一件好事——六分钟练习结束之后，他有更充分的时间让自己安静下来，进入真正的比赛状态。
世锦赛摘得银牌之后，外界对他的期待显然已经不同。
但谈到压力，沙朵说，现在他会尽量不让自己去想这些。
“当然还是会有压力。但这种压力并不是来自其他人，更多是来自我自己。”
“总体来说，我会努力去处理它。到目前为止，我觉得自己做得还可以。”

“我真的很喜欢在中国比赛”
对于沙朵来说，中国已经成为一个很特别的比赛地点。
“我真的很喜欢来中国，也很喜欢在中国比赛。”
他特别提到了中国观众。
每一次来到中国参赛，他都会收到大量来自观众的礼物。熊猫玩偶几乎已经成为中国赛场的“固定节目”，而这一次，还有粉丝专门为他制作了定制抱枕。
“这里的粉丝真的很棒。他们会把熊猫玩偶扔到冰面上，这次我甚至还收到了抱枕——有好几个是专门为我定制的。”
中国观众给他的热情，也让在这里比赛成为一件很特别的事情。

从中国听到迪玛希，到奥运赛季的自由滑
这种与中国的缘分，也延续到了沙朵本赛季最重要的一套节目中。
2025/26赛季，他选择了哈萨克斯坦歌手迪玛希（Dimash Qudaibergen）的《Confessa》以及《The Diva Dance》作为自由滑音乐。
这个决定，其实与中国有关。
沙朵透露，自己第一次真正被这首歌打动，就是在中国听到迪玛希的演唱。
“我是在中国听到迪玛希演唱这首歌的，当时我真的非常喜欢。”
那时他就对自己说：
“以后我一定要用这首音乐滑一次。”
但他一直没有立刻使用它。
直到2025年世锦赛结束，属于他的第一个奥运赛季真正到来，他突然觉得——时间到了。
“世锦赛之后，我意识到，现在就是时候了。应该选择这首音乐了。”
于是，这首很早以前就在中国给他留下深刻印象的音乐，最终成为了他通往米兰冬奥赛季的自由滑。
---
“无论有多困难，都要坚持到最后”
中国杯自由滑并不是一套完美的节目。
沙朵挑战了极高难度的技术配置。比赛后半段，他的体能开始受到考验，部分跳跃也出现失误。
尤其到了最后两个技术动作时，他坦言已经感觉非常吃力。
但他并不准备因为失误就放弃整套节目。
“虽然出现了一些失误，但整体来说，我还是非常满意。”
对他而言，这场比赛更重要的一件事，是自己坚持完成了想要挑战的内容。
“我当时就是尽量不要漏掉任何东西。”
“无论有多困难，都要坚持到最后。”
“我做到了。”
中国杯所使用的技术配置，也基本代表了他希望在赛季后半程继续挑战的方向。比赛当然还有很多需要改进的地方，但至少这一次，他已经知道下一步应该往哪里走。
---
至于这套全新的自由滑，沙朵也知道，现在的它还远远没有到最终形态。
有人喜欢，也有人暂时无法理解。
这种情况让他想起了上一个赛季——新节目刚刚出现的时候，同样有人讨论它究竟哪里好、哪里不好。
但沙朵并不着急。
他相信随着赛季继续，这套节目会一点一点变得完整。
“我觉得随着这个赛季继续，我会把它滑得越来越好。”
从在中国第一次听到迪玛希，到几年后带着这段音乐重新回到中国赛场；从世锦赛银牌带来的新期待，到开始学习如何面对来自自己的压力——这个奥运赛季，对沙朵来说已经和过去不太一样。
而至少有一件事没有改变：
无论比赛有多困难，都要滑到最后。

MS Sport | Interview after the 2025 Cup of China
Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Shaidorov won the men’s bronze medal at the 2025 Cup of China with 262.67 points.
As the 2025 World silver medallist, he entered the new Olympic season facing expectations and pressures different from those he had known before.
After the short program, he admitted that he had still felt some nerves.
“There were a few small mistakes, although I did not really notice them myself.”
In recent competitions, he has gradually become used to skating last. It is beginning to feel like an advantage: after the six-minute warm-up, he has more time to settle himself and find his competitive focus.
Winning World silver has inevitably changed what others expect of him. But he tries not to dwell on that pressure.
“Of course there is still pressure. But it does not really come from other people—it comes more from me.”
“Overall, I try to manage it. So far, I think I have been doing reasonably well.”
“I really enjoy competing in China”
China has become a special place for Shaidorov to compete.
“I really like coming to China, and I really enjoy competing here.”
He singles out the spectators. Whenever he competes in China, he receives a great many gifts. Panda plush toys have become a familiar sight on the ice, and this time fans had also made personalised cushions for him.
“The fans here are wonderful. They throw pandas onto the ice, and this time I even received cushions—several of them made especially for me.”
Their enthusiasm gives competing here a particular meaning.
From hearing Dimash in China to an Olympic-season free skate
That connection with China extends to one of the most important programs of his season.
For 2025/26, Shaidorov chose *Confessa* and *The Diva Dance*, performed by Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen, for his free skate.
The idea has its roots in China. Shaidorov recalls first being struck by the music when he heard Dimash sing it here.
“I heard Dimash perform this song in China, and I really loved it.”
He told himself then: “One day, I have to skate to this.”
But he did not use it immediately. Only after the 2025 World Championships, as his first Olympic season approached, did he feel that the moment had arrived.
“After Worlds, I realised that now was the time. This was the music I should choose.”
Music that had made such a lasting impression on him in China would finally become the soundtrack to his season leading towards Milan.
“However difficult it is, keep going to the end”
The Cup of China free skate was not perfect. Shaidorov attempted an exceptionally demanding technical layout, and fatigue began to tell in the second half. Some jumps went wrong, and the final two elements felt particularly difficult.
He was not, however, prepared to give up on the program because of those mistakes.
“Even though there were errors, overall I am still very satisfied.”
What mattered was that he kept working through the content he had set out to attempt.
“I was just trying not to leave anything out.”
“However difficult it is, keep going to the end.”
“I did that.”
The layout he used at Cup of China broadly reflects the direction he hopes to pursue in the second half of the season. There is plenty to improve, but this competition helped make the next steps clearer.
A program still taking shape
Shaidorov knows that the new free skate is far from its final form. Some people like it; others have yet to connect with it.
That reminds him of the previous season, when a new program also prompted debate about what worked and what did not. He is in no hurry to settle that discussion.
He believes the program will become more complete as the season progresses.
“I think I will skate it better and better as the season goes on.”
From first hearing Dimash in China to returning years later with that music, and from the expectations attached to World silver to learning to manage the pressure he places on himself, this Olympic season already feels different.
At least one thing, though, has remained unchanged:
However hard the competition becomes, he intends to skate to the end.
