Question regarding Nikolai Morozov

[viv]

Where is he coaching now? The German Eurosport guy said during the dance event of NHK that "Ilinykh & Katsalapov are coached by Morozov now and because of that spending a lot of time in the US this year". Hasn't Morozov moved to Russia last year? Did I miss something or was the Eurosport guy just talking nonsense?

[MarieM]

He often goes to NY during the summer, to work with dance professionals ... But it's Russia the rest of the year.

[Ziggy]

His training base is Novogorsk (IIRC), which is just outside of Moscow.

But yes, during the off-season he works in New Jersey.

^ So does he have a house in NJ?

@MarieM and Ziggy:

Thanks both of you, so the Eurosport story makes sense after all. :)

I don't know. Usually, when Russian coaches come in to work at a specific rink, they stay with other Russian coaches from the rink. Morozov knows tons of coaches and skaters in the NJ area. But I have no idea of his particular situation re: a place to stay.

Doesn't his ex-wife and daughter Annabelle still live in Montclair, or did they pull up roots as well?
