I've been a bad fan lately. I still love his skating, but to be honest, his programs this season are not really my cup of tea. I am glad that he is willing to take risks and not skate to boring warhorses, though! I know he's grown up a lot as well and it's a transition period. I just hope he'll get where he needs to be in order to have a successful future.

This post is from last month, but it's too adorable not to share - Georgy and Ekaterina Kurakova :love: My underrated faves!

Georgy is at the 5th stage of the Cup of Russia with Sergei Rozanov, so it does seem he's at Crystal now and left his previous coach. I'm glad for him, as I don't think he was going to make any technical improvements with Shubin, but I hope that some of his previous unique artistry will come back. This SP just doesn't suit him, imo. He earned 71.84.

Kunitsa is now in St. Petersburg training in Moskvina's club, pairs, per this website. Also in the video towards the end another separate skater is wearing the iconic jacket of Moskvina's club. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pOvTqpgdJ/?igshid=asdzrym14ct4

ETA:

Kunitsa will train at the Moskvina club in St. Petersburg

Russian figure skater Georgy Kunitsa, who decided to go to pair skating, will train at the club of Tamara Moskvina in St. Petersburg.

This was told by the club's coach Artur Minchuk .

“He came to see us, and as a result, we agreed to work together. True, we started quarantine, and the man had to return to Moscow. I hope that soon the current world problems will be resolved and we will return to training.

While he does not have a specific partner, we try him with different skaters. We need to carefully analyze the options.

He has strong legs, good lines. He very quickly and correctly receives information, he does not need extra explanations. But while he rode with us for four days, I cannot reason globally. But what I saw during these few days looked beautiful.

In solo skating, he had good positions on the ice, rotation, stretching plus jumping. It meets all the characteristics that are required in pair skating, ”said Minchuk.

They are wishing him good luck and promising they will root for him.

His partner's name is Ekaterina Storublevtseva (or rather Storubliovtseva). I've found some of her skates.

As a single:

As a pair skater with a partner Alexander Polyakov:

Interesting that during autumn 2018 she was a single skater still and during spring 2019 she's already skated in pair.

It will be interesting to follow his progress in this new and exciting discipline. He'll need to workout lots, esp on power and strength, in order to make it as the male partner in pair skating. It's not the easy way out.

The skating season wikipedia page says Polina Kostiukovich, but there's no source.
Is that just speculation or has there been a post somewhere?

Currently he has no partner. He is in self-isolation in Moscow until the end of April per his coach and only has trained there for 4 days. Unless Kostiukovich moved from her coaches, this is a different team/school.

Georgy Kunitsa: Tamara Moskvina has the strongest couple in the country, I hope join the new discipline as soon as possible

As Sport Day after Day reported on Monday, a new sports pair will most likely appear in Russia. George Kunitsa , who trained with Eteri Tutberidze, decided to change his discipline. The 17-year-old skater spoke about the motives for this act in an interview with “Sports Day after Day”.

- The decision to change discipline is mutual with Eteri Georgievna. Having discussed the future, we came to the conclusion that it would be better, because in solo skating it would be difficult for me, - first of all, said George.

- For you, this is both an opportunity to extend your future in figure skating, and an opportunity to start winning big competitions?
- Yes, that is right. I can’t say that this decision has accumulated every year. But during the last season I thought about it more often.

- To achieve serious results in single player skating you lacked quadruple jumps.
- At the beginning of this season there were minor health problems. As for the quadruple jumps, it did not work to show them at the starts. But in training, I performed salchow and sheepskin coat. They are, but heavy and unstable. Especially now, as Nathan Chen and other skaters show, only salchow and sheepskin coat are few.

- Why do you continue your career in Petersburg in the club of Tamara Moskvina?
- There is a strong school, good coaches. I hope this helps me to integrate into a new discipline as soon as possible. Sasha Boykova and Dima Kozlovsky are now the strongest couple in the country, and they train precisely with Tamara Moskvina and her coaches.

- 17 years - is it not too late for the transition from solitary to greenhouses? The same Sasha Gallyamov, decided on this at the age of 14 and only at 20 won the first podiums at the stages of the Grand Prix, in the Grand Prix Final.
- No, there were no doubts. Junior pair skating is possible until the age of 21. I still have time.

- In the Teamtutberidze Instagram account, where there was information about your departure from Khrustalny, there is a curious video. There you are already in the role of a greenhouse. Tell, when did you manage?
- Unfortunately, I didn’t ride on ice for long, because quarantine came. As a result, it turned out about a week.

- Will your partner Katya Storulevtseva?
- Katya and I rode on that very video, but it is not clear whether she will be my constant partner. Artur Minchuk coached us.

- How was it?
- This is a completely different direction. If in single skating you are only responsible for yourself, then in doubles you are also responsible for your partner. This is a different kind of training. Yes, hard. Well, what happens without difficulties?

- What are your plans next?
- As soon as the quarantine is removed and it will be possible to train on ice, I will immediately come to Petersburg. I think about housing options, but there is no specifics yet.
