I think people simply have more love for Gachinski. I don't hate Kovtun, though.Why so many comments against Kovtun? Anyway, this is going to be close next year between two assuming Gachinski regains consistency. Kovtun still has some work to do on 2nd mark.
Why so many comments against Kovtun? .
Because his jumps are ugly as heck?
If you made top-of-his-game Artur and top-of-his-game Maxim do side-by-side quads, there wouldn't even be an argument as to which jump was better.
I think that's the reason why Tatiana is Artur's coach whereas she always highlights the fact that Buyanova is coaching Kovtun. Kovtun needs technique work more and wants to increase his scores by adding new jumps rather than boosting his PCS. Artur already has the amazing technique. And apparently he is only doing one quad but obviously has new and interesting packaging. So I think that TAT chose Artur over Maxim not because either is more talented but because the two skaters need different things.
This is not entirely true cause Maxim talked about the need to improve choreography.

Tarasova said Arthur had problems with his back and legs so she sent him to a specialist. Also initially he had problems with his endurance during training, but now he's better.

Why didn't Mishin do this? Did he neglect him because he concentrated on Plushenko?
