Less then 3 weeks to worlds , not so much time less to it . And i think this is will be the most difficult competition for me for in my skating life ( in many ways ) . Dear friends and fans , thank you a lot for your support , I'm very appreciated !
Want to say one thing , that this competition will be very difficult for me and i will have a lot of things will need go trough but i will do my best no matter what and i will fight till the end !
We had good and very professional preparation for this great event Worlds Championships until while ago get one big problem .
The big problem for me now its to receive visa for France World Championships.
I try explain to you in short story .
Normally people with World Championship Invitation can go easy to consulate of the country they stay in , but in my case its didn't work . The thing is the type of US visa i have and i stay in here they can issue French visa for me in CA,US.
So i contact my federation asking how long it will take in Uzbekistan, and answer was 2 weeks ( fastest ), because i receive invitation few days ago from France and there little time left to competition . And because i go to get visa without my coach i will need wait 10-14 days to practice by myself , but same time when we have no standard ice rink ( smaller size ) and much time for practice , its will be impossible to go compete, so we start searching for other option .
So we contact Russia French consulate and at first they say they can do it in less then week , so we says that good until yesterday receive another answer from them that i can't get in Russia because need stay in the at least 90 days and having registration documentation . So this choice not work too .
So then my federation had people go to Uzbekistan French Consulate for issue their visa and talk to consul about out situation , then he kind of surprise why they can't issue me visa in US , ( plus its visa only for competition , not for others things ) so he told them to contact New York main US french consulate .
Today i contact them and they answer was quick and short "no we can't give you visa , you need go back to your country "
So after that i contacted with my federation again and we my parents,coaches and federation been decide what we can do. So after long time deciding there only one choice to give a try our best what we can .
Next week i will go to Uzbekistan for apply French visa , then after apply my form and show them passport i will receive it back and can use it until they call me and told me your visa ready come to consulate and take your passport with you . So after applied form for visa i will get my passport back and will fly to Moscow , Russia by myself for one week , to practice on standard ice rink .
Then i will fly back to Uzbekistan and hopefully right before 2 days of official practice i will get my visa and hopefully got to Nice for Worlds Championships.
So that pretty much what we can do . Do our best what possible for us.
So dear friends and fans please don't thing that i write down all this things just because want you pity me . Please don't .
I just want you to know the true , the true things what will going on . I don't like fantasies about many things , same as life , and i want look at way it is, the way its "real" .
The difficult things happen to you that mean you need to do best as you can and try beat difficult things . And i think its a good things what will happened to me, because any new challenge or problem will just make you stronger !
So as i said it before , its will be difficult for me , but i will do by best as i can , and even i will have bad condition and not enough professional preparation compare others skaters, i will fight till the end and best as i can !
Thank you so much for read all of it .
Deeply appreciated your Misha Ge =)
