Coaching Change Thread

[On My Own]

Let's collect all the coaching changes here. Maybe a mod can pin it.

Hungary’s Vivien Papp is in the process of moving, although she hasn’t described to where. Her present social media shows posts in Italy (Egna or ?), where she has been training for a while, on & off.

Bradie Tennell is now adapting to French culture with the move to her longtime choreographer Benoit Richaud and tech coach Cedric Tour

This weekend was our first chance to see her competing with this new change

added- she left Tom Z in The Colorado Springs camp. Before that she was with Denise Myers in suburban Chicago

I have a small request... if people could remind us of the old coach / training base is, that would be totally awesome!

 

[barbarafan]

I have a small request... if people could remind us of the old coach / training base is, that would be totally awesome!

thank-you...that would be great...From memory I was trying to figure out how many couples left Igor due to lack of whatever after Davis and Gleb starting training there and now Davis & Gleb have left Igor.

Angelina Kudryavtseva / Ilia Karankevich moved to Italy. Their new coaches are: Matteo Zanni, Barbora Reznickova, Denis Lodola

Weird. Their Personal Best FD Score is listed as 8/10/2022 at the ISU World Junior Championships, which are not held in October. Either the date or the event is wrong -- I would have thought that the ISU generated this material automagically.

The score is their score from Junior Worlds.

 

[tony]

The score is their score from Junior Worlds.

Yes, but the question being raised here is why the date of the event is not correct when it should be automatically pulled. I checked to see if the protocol or standings were somehow modified way after the fact-- but nothing. So strange error, indeed. The RD and total score have the correct dates.

Looks like they put the date of the FD SB (JGP Baltic Cup) on the row of the FD PB
They are not the only ones with this mistake. Galimberti/Mandelli's ISU bio has the JGP Krasnoyarsk 2021 happening on 14.10.2022 (which is the date of JGP Egna FD)
Ling/Wein have JGP Krasnoyarsk 2021 taking place on 9.10.22 (which is the date of Finlandia Trophy 2022 which is their SB event)
Wang/Liu have 4 Continents 2020 on 19.11.2022 (which is the date of NHK 2022)

 

[Sylvia]

I'll ask about these weird dates.

Does anyone happen to have handy a compilation of this season's coaching changes?

ETA: I've let someone know (it's likely a database problem and hopefully will be fixed in due course).

Update: It appears the wrong competition dates in those ISU bios have since been corrected.

Tweeted by Golden Skate on Tuesday from Saitama Worlds: "Eteri Tutberidze is here at Worlds, together with Daniil Gleikhengauz and Sergei Dudakov, accompaning Daniel Grassl, Morisi Kvitelashvili and Nika Egadze."

Grassl in the media mixed zone: https://twitter.com/goldenskate/status/1638167244676136965

“I am feeling much better. I always love skating in Japan, people here are so warm and welcoming. I gave everything in my run-through for the audience here tonight!

It was a tough time mentally this season and I needed to take some time for myself. But with the help of my friends, coaches and fans I really got new strength. It’s a success that I am here and my goal here is just enjoying myself!

Living in Moscow I still feel a bit lonely but the training atmosphere there is great. We train a lot but in a very positive atmosphere. For next year it’s my goal to beat all the girls of Team Tutberidze.”

 

[Rukia]

Choices have been made. I hope it's worth it for him. I don't think this will help his atrocious jump technique at any rate.

I can’t keep up!

 

[kwanfan1818]

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

[kwanfan1818]

They've switched as a team to Zhulin from Svinin/Zhuk.

Coach Lorenzo Magri announced today that he is leaving the Young Goose Academy in Egna, Italy: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqYJywIoqDO/

I arrived in Egna when there was almost nothing about skating, at the time there was a new ice rink and a small group of amateur girls who skated there. What then grew on that rink was born from my vision, my ideas and my experiences developed and amplified by many other professionals who arrived, stayed, left or disappeared. Today YGA is an internationally recognized reality and this will forever be my merit and my intuition.

Thanks to all of you for these years, the time has come for me for new adventures, explorations, projects and ideas.

We change, yes we change. You do it to grow up, to learn and to test ourself.

I hope this will be a moment of further growth, of great successes, goals, projects and achievements for those who dream and fight for them.

“The road to success is always under construction”

With love
Lorenzo

It appears that the Russian annexation of Egna is completed.

 

[Wyliefan]

Wait, what?? Did I miss something here? What Russian annexation?
