I'm just glad to see Sergey not retiring yet. Show 'em up. It's inspiring to see him skate year after year, despite his age. His body seems to be holding up quite well. I hope it continues for him. It'll be interesting to see what he does next year as last I heard he was coachless...

Dima and Sergei don't deserve to be lumped together with some others when we talk about lack of consistency.

You must be kidding . . .

Aliev is even a member of Team Trainwreck over on FSU.:slink:

(It's the men's field. Face it. The entire field has a lack of consistency. Even the Jasons and Matteos without the quad jumps are perfectly good at mucking up when big-time medals are on the line).

Yes! I was so happy when I heard that, especially after he got his first GP gold at NHK! Sergei is really inspirational and I love his style so seeing him skate is always a treat!

And is he coachless? I hope he can find someone good!

I was at Skate America last year, screaming my head off when he ended up on that podium. I figured he wouldn't want to quit after such a great season but it was still very satisfying to hear him say it. :biggrin: He is just beautiful to watch, so engaging where I find myself missing it in some of the other russian men... I'm very excited about Dima, he has good programs just not a lot of consistency yet, but he is young.

Inna left CSKA, but Sergey chose to stay with the club and there was an interview (that I of course can't find now) maybe a month ago in which he said he's doing his own thing for now. I liked him under Inna but he knows what he wants in a coach so we'll see what happens!

Wasn't Sergei with TAT in a recent pic? Could he already train in a group near to TAT's heart?

Omggg I would die... I love gossip like this

And yet Milquetoast Kolyada really only has a 4T, so why do people pretend otherwise? I have yet to see him land a 4Lz more than once internationally and I don't buy that he has a stable 4S for a second. And all the men made massive errors at Russian Nats, but they only held it against certain people. Samarin with his hideous programs and complete lack of decent skating abilty got higher PCS than Sergei.

You really has to go out of your way to say something offensive about Mikhail, and yet you say it's not personal. No one pretends anything when it comes to him, do you even read the posts in any competition he's going? Everyone is already counting his falls, and the 4sal is not even in his programs anymore for a reason. Everyone that comments skating in Russia had choice words about Kolyada, and a lot of praise for Dima when they thought he was saving the country, but he failed too.

It's interesting that you want to gloss over Dima's mistakes when he's had a lot of them - he did one very good competition at Euros, and that was it. Want to complain about the UR call at worlds, do it. Want to complain about his low PCS, do it, but don't pretend he's any better than the rest of the russian guys because he's not. He also got his own gifts at RN - his PCS got a boost only smaller than Samarin's, and it's the reason he went to Euros instead of Sergei, whether you want to admit or not.

Ilya Skirda also left Eteri.

Is that confirmed? I must have missed the announcement. Wow!

I love Ilya and I also hope he'll have a great comeback. First of all I'm super happy that Sergei continues. Not sure about Buyanova as the right person, but hey, I'm confident he knows what he's doing. I certainly wish Misha a good portion of consistency. When he's switched on, he's switched on.
There are some really exciting younger lads: Danielian, Rukhin, Frolov, Kovalev. I only hope they'll receive the same care and attention as the girls usually get. Shame that Samsonov is still too young for JGP, but he has time to prepare for his debut next year.
Max Kovtun is just a fantastic character, I like him a lot, but tbh, I don't know whether there is a point of him trying to come back. I thought, he'd focus on his music by now...
Can't wait to see how the boys compete against Orser's Stephen Gogolev.

There was no announcement, but he skates in Butsaeva's group since the end of March or the beginning of April.

So much for me paying attention... big slap on the wrist. Thanks for the info :thumbsup:

And the latest developments are:

A prodigal son aka Maxim Kovtun returned to Buianova
And took Sergei Voronov with him (or other way round - not sure) but anyway Buianova was I think only remaining Russian coach he hasn't been training with before
Mikhail Kolyada got an internship with Raf (or is it a try-out I don't think so though)
Aliev & Samarin keep quiet
On the whole the above news gone completely unnoticed in a light of 'other' big Russian drama :)

Sergei stayed at CSKA with Buyanova ever since Goncharenko left...it was posted on FSO months ago. Rukavitsin's team is done with camp in the USA & are moving on to the next camp. I just know that Dima and Sergei were invited to The Ice show in Japan later this summer, which is fantastic - they absolutely deserve it :thumbsup: Can't wait to see them together.

Not completely unnoticed if you lurk on Russian forums or VK. Also rumor has it that Samarin has left CSKA. This one, noone is really buying but time will tell :laugh:
