You are completely missing the point. :rolleye: /.../ I believe the underlying question from noskates was why Lyosha is a common nickname for Alexei. The intention of my reply was to shed light on that underlying question. I did not say that Lyosha was not common. :rolleye:

I understood. I just said, that both variants are common. Thank you.

I never visited Gachinski's instagram before.
And... here they are! :clapper:

Gachinski called this picture
"The Best friends in the World ))))))) I am already missing you )))"

I see Totmianina, Vanagas, Petrova, Khvalko, Besedin, Marinin (on the left - I think Marinin) and Yagudin (which can stand, his hip is titanium)

There is no Staviski on this photo, but I think it is important to remember Staviski. Poor Gachinski says he never was skating anything cheerful, only Staviski choreographed a cheerful program for him. Artur was smiling and said he was enjoying. Artur also said it was his (Artur's) wish (he wanted Staviski to be his choreographer). Artur liked working with Staviski, Staviski was listening to him.

And now... Artur helps Maxim Kovtun. They explain, that choreographers just want to make something beautiful, but sometimes they don't feel, whether the movements are comfortable for a skater or not. Artur is a solo skater too, so he helps to make the program more comfortable. Or he can show something to Maxim.

Excuse me, if my long reply seemed to be aggressive.
"The greatest" and etc are not my words. I just showed his relations with those who know him.

Kind folks, which use Google Translate to read soviet newspapers when they have breakfast, trounce Yagudin for years. I even think it was good, that he payed in full for every his step. His patience is unearthly, if he wants to be patient. He allows Kovtun to be rude to him and continues to chauffeur Kovtun...

He doesn't want to be too great.
It seems this girl from a restaurant isn't his friend

Looks like an ordinary photo with somebody, whom he doesn't know...

Darn, seems now with Sota breaking his ankle again, it may be a long time before he and Shoma are reunited for more adventures like in their Juniors days. Heal well, dear Sota! :sad4:

Not quite a "friendship", perhaps, but Plushy has often cited Brian Boitano as one of his favourite skaters - and this weekend he did shows with him in Brazil and posted this photo of them both:

Translated to English, he says:

With the legendary Brian Boitano on the show in Brazil

Those glasses are AWESOME.

You should check out his Instagram--Ivan wears quite a selection of eyewear! He seems like a really fun-loving guy. i greatly enjoy what he brings to skating and hope he has wonderful season.

Dmitre Razgulajevs made me cry (in a good way) :sad4: :luv17: today with his sweet expression of friendship that led to a four-way lovefest on Instagram.
I take it that Mueller/Dieck and Bent/Razgulajevs once trained together, but no longer?
I have minimal prior knowledge of either dance couple, but their mutual affection is touching and perfect for this thread :).

Have far too many things to say about @tim_dieck and @kati.mueller, so I'm just going to say that seeing you guys was one of the best parts of Salt Lake, it was so fun to compete against you guys, and to see you again! We miss you everyday and it's never the same without you. Can't wait until our paths cross again! โ˜บ๐Ÿ˜ Thank you for being such amazing friends and such amazing athletes! ....
