Trusova and Kondratiuk have teamed up to win medals in Ice Dance, coached by Svinin/Zhuk

[Ananas Astra]

According to sports.ru Trusova and Kondratiuk have retired from Singles skating because they are too injured to continue doing quads.
They plan to compete in Ice Dance instead and will be coached by Svinin/Zhuk, after Stepanova/Bukin had left.

The fundamental problem with this premise is that the only medals this team would earn would be in Russian domestic ice dancing competitions, which is scraping the bottom of grandpa's barrel. . Even if it were true, the thread would rightfully belong where @SHARPIE will soonmove it: The Trash Can.

Get me a rewrite by tomorrow morning, West Coast time.

The whole Trusova/Kondratiuk relationship is silly AF. It's really sad that Russia is still stuck in the 1950s. Mark's embrace of Putin has echos of Roy Cohn and J Edgar Hoover.

okay.

It is already April the 1st in some countries, eh?

You might’ve got me if you said pairs, but no way would Trusova ever do dance

But the music choices would be epic.

Wikipedia lists Kondratiuk as winning the gold medal for the 2022 Olympics team event. Surprised it doesn't read "TBD" rather than "1st".

Any and everyone can go in and change Wikipedia details, so feel free.

Has that changed? I once tried years ago, but there was a whole process of hoops one had to jump through before they were allowed to be a contributor and make changes.

Very few Wikipedia pages have editing limitations put on them. I fill in a lot of historical skating results without issue.

Right now, it says, "Mark Valeryevich Kondratiuk (Russian: Марк Валерьевич Кондратюк, born 3 September 2003) is a Russian figure skater. He is a 2022 Olympic champion in the team event.... Kondratiuk became the youngest Olympic champion in the team event at 18 years and 157 days old, being 45 days younger than Dick Button, who won the men's singles at 18 years and 202 days."

It is still April Fool's Day, innit? But you shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet.

Oh, and the Fanyus should be on top of this. Where are they these days?

 

[Ananas Astra]

Well...that escalated quickly...
