I too think so. I really hope Dima now does what he should have done after last year’s season ending: take a long break, go on holiday for at least two weeks and then start the upcoming season with fresh energy and not like a squeezed out lemon.I don't blame him after an OG season, its like he hasn't recharged the batteries, just not yet...
It was sad to see Dima skating again like this at the Russian Cup Final. He said that he was well prepared and that he came in order to fight for a spot on the World team. Obviously, he was far from that.
They did the new short, because they felt the old short was too similar in style to the free. I asked if he's going to keep that Blues short and he said no, not after that performance. He wants to start the new season from scratch. But first of all he needed rest and time away. He knows that and he said he first wants a few days off and if it is only for a short trip to Paris (and he did go to Paris). He's been talking about not having any real vacation the whole season, poor guy. His coaches I think made a big mistake by not giving him two weeks at least of rest and real vacation after the Olympic season. He would have needed that so badly to recharge physically and most of all mentally. Luckily, he is still only 19 years old and he hopefully can come back next sesaon fresh and motivated.
