Eva Kuts & Dmitrii Mikhailov

Eva Kuts and Dmitrii Mikhailov (Ева Куць / Дмитрий Михайлов) are ice dancers representing Russia. Kuts was born 24th August 2001 and Mikhailov was born 15th April 1998. This season is their 3rd season together and last junior eligible season. Before teaming up with Mikhailov, Kuts skated two season with Juri Petrosian. Before teaming up with Kuts, Mikhailov skated one season with Julia Dolgikh.

They haven't had a superb junior career but I think they have made very good progress this season after their JGP event and to me they looked really good at the 3rd Russian Cup event.

They placed 7th at the 2018 Russian Junior Nationals and 10th at the 2017 Junior Nationals. They are coached by Ekaterina Rubleva and Ivan Shefer.

Too bad that this season is their last junior eligible season because this season is also the last junior season for both Khudaiberdieva / Nazarov and Shevchenko / Eremenko which means that there will be room on top for new teams next season. If Kuts/Mikhailov would have still been junior eligible next season then it could have very well be their breakthrough season. But it is what it is.

They will skate at the Warsaw Cup next week.

I am really interested in seeing what their score will be because they have improved a lot since their JGP event. It will also be intresting to see how they will do against Ivanenko/karpov.

Jr. Nationals. What a great RD! Best RD I have seen from them. They got a big score also - above 65 points. Great job!

Finally some FD videos since FSrussia still haven't uploaded any.

Jr. Nationals. They were 5th which was a really great outcome for them. If only they would have one more junior season left because I am sure next season would have been their breakthrough season, but sadly this season is their last junior eligible season.

I've just updated the OP

They have split up. According to rumors Dima retired and would like to become a coach. Eva is looking for a new partner. They progressed well this season but even so they would have had hard time in seniors next season. Anyway, hopefully Eva will find a decent partner.

:sad21:

It seems she has teamed up with Alexey Shchepetov. They are coached by Nicholas Buckland in usa.

She didn't say anything about it.

Eva Kuts spotted on ice again - doing synchronised twizzles with Artem Kovalev!!


It was part of a video challenge where singles skaters tried out dance skills - looks like Eva and Artem won. Kinda ironic given that Dmitrii stopped competing in dance with Eva to coach singles skating at Artem's (now former) club

I wonder if she's still looking for a partner?

Glad to hear/see something about Eva. Yes, it would be interesting if Artyom was her partner

Well... she needs a partner who can hold a girl's hand without struggling not to giggle

Interestingly, his twizzles looked a bit better than hers. Maybe an indication that she hasn't been intensively training lately (although I don't think this team was especially strong at twizzles compared to others).

Wait this isn't THE Dima M? The one at the Academy? Because if so, he really did become a coach

Eva Kuts was spotted in the background in one of Ira Sharova's photos of a training session in Moskvich. Per Sharova, it sounds like she is now a skating skills coach.
