I would take any of them over Kovtun, whose programs and music choices are awful in my opinion, also he is too inconsistent.
I was absolutely spellbound by Sergei's LP and almost had tears in my eyes! Great for him!
What happened to him?
Apparently he was injured and he WD the test skates and the first event but already last year you could tell that Inna Goncharenko was much more interested on working with Voronov (probably because he has a better working ethic than Kovtun), so i'm not expecting much from Maxim this season.
