Composer, music producer Alexander Goldstein said that he was pleasantly surprised by the choice of music for Mark Kondratyuk’s program, and noted that he distinguished him from other skaters during test skates before the start of last season.
– In recent years, has any of the skaters had a choice of music that surprised me? There is a pleasant surprise. For Kondratyuk they took the music from the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar” – a wonderful surprise, and he did it well. I liked him already during the test skates, when they had not yet paid such attention to him. I said that I liked him the most, and as a result, Kondratyuk showed the best results this season, Goldstein said to the Championship.
In the 2021/22 season, 18-year-old Kondratyuk won gold at the European Championship and the Russian Championship, became the Beijing Olympic champion in team competitions. In the individual tournament of the 2022 Games, he took 15th place.
