Angelopol has a new partner. Some girl named Daria.
Anyone wanna bet how long this partnership is gonna last?
I throw in 10 € and say: One season, if that.
Long enough for her to get noticed for any talent on her own, and then some decent coach will have pity on her and find her a better partner?

Another thing I am wondering about: Who will coach Kareva/Angelopol?
According to the pictures, he still is at Angels of Plushenko, but Linichuk has said she wants nothing to do with him anymore.
Are there any other dance coaches at Plush's school?
IIRC, Angelopol has burned bridges with pretty much every Ice Dance coach in Russia.

He openly apologized to Linichuk and she accepted his apology

This is nothing new. That was the news from 2 weeks ago.

He wrote an official apology on VK and Linichuk accepted his apology

Skating is so dead it’s like all marriage and baby news as people move on from a sport that doesn’t provide anything
Why are you here? Look in the mirror and ask yourself? This is a skating fan forum, yet clearly you do not really have any interest in skating or even being a positive contributor to the group. So why, I am genuinely curious? Or do just get a kick out of being the protagonist of some sort of ideal or cause that we are not aware of? Please enlighten us or leave.

There are a lot of people here who haven’t kept up with skating at all in a very long time 🤷🏼‍♂️ Casey is not unique in that.

But at least they have some purpose and level of contribution. To me it seems like this Casey person should go and find some support for themselves in a community that they actually care for, really what is the point?

I Am mainly a fan of RUSSIAN SKATING. ISU has banned Russian skating and you can see how people are now moving on with their lives and all hope for their dreams in skating is gone!!! I hope to see Russian skating back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For isu to stop destroying it. No one in isu cared for one second about America invading Iraq!!! Isu also didn’t care about Soviet Union invading Afghanistan!!!!!!!!! This thread turning into marriage and baby thread shows no skating at high level exists anymore.

Russia has produced some wonderful skaters. We can all appreciate that.

But why has Russia declared war on Ukraine? War is a horrible thing, I think we can all agree on that.

This is why they are banned. War is worldwide, and it only adds to bloodshed. Not acceptable.

Kamila's doping has not been a positive thing. None of the American skaters, nor skaters from any other country, have been found to have been doping.

Casey, I have stood up for you from time to time. But not over this. Please do some real thinking on these appropriate issues that have affected figure skaters.

war was perfectly acceptable to isu when it was America invading Iraq.

Or the Dominican Rep or a bunch of other locales in the last 60 years.
My main concern has been with the downward status of pairs skating in general. At least I see some good Chinese pairs bring built and a good German team.
Yes the hypocrisy is ridiculous.

There is a belief isu can destroy Russian skating and keep pairs afloat
