From Russia with love [#29]: Spring 2018 and beyond

[caseyedwards]

The question that’s really interesting is if krylova can be as effective in Russia as she was in the US at her peak! Does she become a clueless and untalented coach like kustarova or zhulin as that is what the Russian federation demands or Is she the first modern IJS coach in Russia.

Anna Pogorilaya began preparations for the new season, she plans to take part at the test skates and at Challenger events next autumn. She started doing all her triples and 3-o-3 combo , but her 3lz-3r is not back yet. They haven’t made any decisions about new programs.

I hope her back is better? Or at least more manageable? I really wasn’t anticipating this kind of news from her yet, so I will remain cautiously optimistic.

She also added that she now trains under permanent doctors supervision and will have to do it until her retirement.

I wasn't that impressed with her work. Everything W/P did just looked too laboured and difficult most times. Marie France and company seem more adept at garnering both GOEs and levels, Camerlengo though is a gifted choreographer.

I saw tonight that IFS magazine listed Team Russia for 2018-2019 for Seniors and Juniors.

Weird to see Pogo and Radionova in their "Reserve Team."

Also whats going on now with Sinitsina/Katsalaplov? They are in the Reserve Team too.

Apologies if this has already been discussed. I have not been in this thread much.

Dmitriev also says that Astakahova wants out of skating and Rogonov will definitely continue.

Bobrova & Soloviev are listed as part of 2018-2019. So did they not retire then?

Im glad Voronov is continuing.

That has been discussed above, you can find it going through the thread. Just in general, the Russian Federation names their national team according to the national and international results from last season. So if someone didn't compete at Nationals and didn't make the top five you're usually not on the national team. Exceptions apply, for example Evgenia Medvedeva didn't do Nationals as she was still recovering from injury, but placing second at Europeans and the Olympic Games obviously is enough to put her on the team. For others that had good results earlier in the season or general, there is still the reserve team.

 

[Mad for Skating]

Again. Rogonov is free to decide how he wants to continue. He’s an adult and so is she. It’s nice he wants to keep skating but I also understand if she’d rather not waste her time waiting every year for some Mozer team to withdraw from a competition.

And btw, I have a co worker who went on a two week vacation and then announced he taking job somewhere else. Obviously he was interviewing somewhere else for a while and most people guessed he was on his way out as he was rather unhappy. Given it takes six months to fill any position, my job is certainly going to suck as I have to pick up his workload. However, he did absolutely nothing wrong and I’m not going to hold it against him that he decided he’d rather do something else.

Well with the amount of times Stolbova/Klimov either injure themselves or get banned without explanations, I'd say "waiting for a Mozer pair to withdraw" is a pretty lucrative career.

 

[Ka3sha]

Speaking of Stolbova/Klimov, I have seen somewhere on Instagram today that Fedor is also in NYC now, working with their osteophat and healing old minor injuries before the season. And that yes, they plan to compete next season and continue working with Vlad Zhovnirsky

 

[Coco]

Castelli/Roganov for Team Azerbaijan!

Bringing US and Russia closer together with each throw 3s!

 

[mjb52]

Argh, Astakhova/Rogonov were my favorite discovery from the Olympics!

I was about to suggest Rogonov/Ilinykh in my early Saturday morning fog and then remembered why that didn't make sense.

 

[hanca]

I think within the next few years Russian senior pairs may be completely changed. This coming season it will be Boikova/Kozlovski and Pavliuschenko/Khodykin moving to seniors. After 2018-19 season there is a few more juniors aging up, such Poluyanova/Sopot, Kudryavtseva/Spiridonov and the season after that even more pairs (Mishina/Galiamov, Kostiukovich/Yalin, Atakhanova/Volodin, Kvartalova/Sviatchenko, Labazina/Rakhmanin....). Obviously not all teams will survive, some injuries, split ups, puberty etc, but I don’t recall ever seeing so many decent teams moving to seniors within the period of two years. I think Russian senior pairs will become highly competitive internally, which will have impact on their results internationally.

Ladies names are getting harder!

I am desperate for some hope!! I hope that while krylova May have been the weakest of the Russians in North America she was still in North America and learning from the best. Better to be weakest Russian coach in North America than best russian coach in Russia. All the Russian ID coaches in Russia are destroying their ID program and there is no hope for any team in Russia to win worlds or world medal.

Yes, he said Vlad will handle most of it until Nina comes back in October. Ksenia was in New Jersey about a week ago with Nikolai Morozov and TAT, so they might be getting help there too.

I'm ok with this - they can take all the time they want as long as they come back healthy and fierce, bless them!

Iliushechkina- Rogonov? I don't see Lubov returning to Russia though.

Lubov officially retired I would love to see that partnership though!

Ohhh, why did you even say it . They would've been beautiful to watch.

Yes, as he said he would to do the new short program with Stéphane. Nice that Stasia (Stanislava) also got the chance to work with Stéphane.

There was some kind of media event towards Mundial in Moscow, Zhenia Medvedeva was present and talked to press.
In around a week she departs to Canada. Her injury has healed, she is on ice every day:

Where is she skating?

 

[reut]

Where is she skating?

Good question, no idea. But as she just returned from Japan I guess she meant she was on ice almost every day, not literally every single day, I doubt she skated yesterday, for example.

If I'm not mistaken she will work with the Cirque du Soleil show.

 

[Mad for Skating]

If I'm not mistaken she will work with the Cirque du Soleil show.

Yeah. It'll be interesting to see if she has much skating in the show.

 

[barbarafan]

Yeah. It'll be interesting to see if she has much skating in the show.

I hope she gets lots of work there. Everyone has to eat. I would love her to coach but I don't know if she had a chance yet to get her credentials and then find an opening. She does love to perform and is so passionate so I hope she is happy there.

 

[Tinami Amori]

Yeah. It'll be interesting to see if she has much skating in the show.

... it's not "how much".. it's "for how long"... Luba is re-claiming her Russian side a bit... after all, if worst comes to worst, Averbuch always has shows..

She loves living in Canada but visits Russia as often as she can. It is expensive to live in Canada. Although they had intended to retire from amateur skating at the end of 2017/2018 it came to a crashing halt with Dylan's accident without the expected results. I so want her to coach as we need her Russian side so much in Cdn pair skating.
