I chat with 2023 U.S. Bronze Medalist and World Team Member Andrew Torgashev on his successful comeback season after missing the last two Nationals due to injury:
-what the first half of his season looked like coming back to skating from injury the previous season
-domestic competitions in the summer/fall and qualifying to Nationals through Sectionals
-Competing at Sectionals in 2022 for the first time in 8 years
-Mindset at Nationals: How he bounced back from his short program to skate a spectacular freeskate
-Qualification to get the minimum tech score necessary for Worlds
-His experience and awe at his first World Championships this year
-Reflections of the season and his career to this point
-Growth over the past few years and the feeling of being an adult in skating now as opposed to the promising up and coming young skater he used to be
-Living independently and training on his own in LA away from family
-The balance of social life and training
-Being in control of your career
-Choreography and his newer processes and development with that
