Moscow, Mar 16 (EFE) .- (Camera: Ignacio Ortega) Spanish skater Sara Hurtado has lived a real ordeal in recent months between the coronavirus pandemic and a serious shoulder injury. Miraculously, a few days ago she qualified, along with her dance partner, Kirill Jalyavin, for the Stockholm World Cup. The goal is to make history and win two spots for Spain at the 2022 Beijing Games.FOOTAGE OF BOTH SKATERS DOING THEIR EXERCISES IN MOSCOWINTERVIEW WITH SARA HURTADOTRANSLATIONIt has been a tough year, a lot of time being separated, dar from the ice, without the feelings you get while training and competing. It's been a tough test.We use the same music and most of the same elements, but we have made some adjustments in order to make them grow. It's been renovated.We want to show our quality and how much we have worked, and just be in peace with it. We already achieved out goal for this season, just feeling that we were able to be a competitive couple after all of this. Now we have to try and make the best of it, try to do our best and we have the chance to get these two spots for Beijing. That would be historic.Stockholm is going to be prery weird, without the crowds, living inside a bubble, with distances... It will be weird, but it's going to happen and one year ago I was at home during a lockdown. So just being able to be there for 3-4 minutes in the ice, we have to celebrate it.My injury happened three weeks after lockdown was over. I fell. It was a normal fall, but the injury was very tough. It was a mess and it needed surgery. I flew to Madrid, had surgery and began the rehab process, that lasted for months. In October last year, I put on my skates for the first time.
