Ah okay... yeah I think this time they were better than G/X, and I even own their fanfest...
Did Astakhova/Rogonov split?
Tatjana Flade just posted on FSU that she heard that Kristina wanted to retire and perform in shows. Rogonov wanted to continue but not with a new partner so he is doing seminars.
Here's the post: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...g-2018-and-beyond.103656/page-27#post-5370271
It is very difficult for me to write this post. But I can not remain silent.
Apparently, this Olympic season will be for our couple with Christina Astakhova final.
Christina decided to withdraw from the sport. I was determined to skate for at least 4 more years. But to convince or persuade Christina to continue to go for a drive did not turn out at me, neither at the trainer, nor at Federation of figure skating.
And it can be understood. All these exhausting workouts, injuries, loads, uncomfortable schedules from 10:00 to 22:00, choreography 6 times a week, constant lack of money, stress at competitions, responsibility for the country ... and even this restless Rogonov, ready to endure this all 4 more years
We were called Crystals ...
And I would be glad to still be on the ice, but it seems that Christina's decision is final.
Perhaps someday you will see our couple in ice shows.
But now I feel the strength, and an irresistible desire to continue to grow as an athlete and compete.
Therefore, at the moment I am considering all possible and impossible options ...
Thanks to our coach Arthur Dmitriev for his support and strong shoulder.
Thanks to the choreographer Sergei Komolov for his faith and steep programs.
Thanks to Kristina Astakhova for patience, work and incredible talent!
Thanks to our fans for their support and love!
Thanks to the Federation of figure skating of Russia for understanding and this wonderful video!
It was cool, but the best, of course, is ahead!
just to not let this thread go to the second page, a little pic of one good russian pair
