2021-2022 Russian Men's Figure Skating

[lariko]

According to my mom, they are adding Ice Age skaters or something like that. But yeah, Junior men are so much better! Maybe they will bring back Ice Age Kids?

Interesting, there are reports that Gumennik is doing remote coaching with Arutyunyan. I wonder how that will work out for him.

Российский фигурист Петр Гуменник рассказал о сотрудничестве с тренером из США Рафаэлем Арутюняном.

"Since the beginning of this season, Rafael Vladimirovich regularly helps me via video link."

Yes, I am also curious how that can work, although I am partically skeptical about the permanent videocoaching.

Dima and Mark gotta work on those throw jumps, while Sasha and Kolya are looking quite good already. Guess the height difference works in their favour. Kolya has some problems keeping up with Sasha's cross-overs though....
ETA: I just hope Lyosha Erokhov doesn't feel betrayed, he was practicing SBS pairs jumps with Sasha already in January after all.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

This is pure speculation, but could Aliev actually be considering a switch to Sokolovskaya? I know the guys and the coaches are good friends also off-ice and they might be simply fooling around. On the other hand, something clearly was not working for Dima this season, and sometimes a hard reset can do wonders.
And what about Rukhin? At the RCF it became clear he wasn't with AoP anymore. So who will he turn to next? He made JGPF this season, so should have a spot on the junior national team which should be enough incentive to continue his career. I still think he would be a good fit at Moskvich, but it's already getting pretty crowded there. Does anyone have the exact dates when the transfer window will be open?

 

[lariko]

Wherever Rukhin goes, I hope he stays there because he likes it… not sure what to say about Aliev.

Yeah, Samarin had it good. Heh, his partner’s a little squirt! I’m liking A/K, especially their layback carry and lift. Looked to be a level 2 to my eyes. Should be LBCLi2 on a protocol.

Now all we need is for this to actually happen in a competition. Complete with deadpan commentary and mock protocols.

we've been asking for same sex teams in pairs for some time now we got our answer

Kolesnikov seems to be doing well at Sokolovskaya’s

I actually would like if Dima would switch coaches. Nothing against Rucavicin, I just have the feeling that Dima needs a new surrounding to get out of his hole.

Rucavicin is clearly a very good jump coach. But Aliev doesn't need a jump coach.

Whatever Dima needs to go back on track, I´m fine with.

I share this sentiment so much. I am worried though that his health was irreparably damaged by Covid.

I'd rather see them in their own discipline back on the international ice.

Dima´s stamina was never the best and Makar´s is even worse. So maybe Rukavicin doesn´t put enough attention to their stamina.

From an interview with Plushenko today:

Is it difficult to start working with an athlete who is already accustomed to a certain format of training?

It's not easy. For example, I had a very talented figure skater, with whom we began to study perfectly, to put on programs, but two weeks passed - and the person seemed to be jammed: no matter what I said, he seemed not to hear me, he skated by himself. I tell him, if you come just to take the ice and train on your own, it won't happen. And he tells me that he just didn't get used to it any other way, he trained alone all his life. Coaches will tell you something in passing at best. We ended up breaking up. When an athlete trains without constant supervision, there is a high probability that some mistakes, if they were not corrected in time, a person will simply memorize. And in emergency situations, in big competitions, they can surface.

Could this be about Rukhin? I can't help it, I find the whole Rukhin coaching saga very intriguing.

He speaks about to "put on programs" and I don't think Rukhin started with new programs in AoP. But if he would truly left AoP it would be a third departure within just one season.

More likely Lukin

Is Lukin gone from AoP again?
