I was just referring to the "I can make him skate better than what you did" battle between coaches when a skater switches from a famous coach to another one (the subject of "beat" and "lose" was TAT, not artur of course)But who is Artur supposed to "beat"? Petrov? Comebacking Plushenko? At this point it matters little whether TAT sticks with him. I'm worried the judges aren't waiting anymore.
so Tarasova is now his main coach ?
interesting she left Kovtun for Gachinski given Kovtun's better results
Well, perhaps I need to temper my expectations... Even if TAT just matches what Mishin did--European and World medals--it's probably more than most people are predicting for Artur at this point. I'd be happy about that, even if TAT isn't. I just don't want Artur to end up like the other Artur--Dmitriev Jr.--wandering around the wilderness for several years with few results.I was just referring to the "I can make him skate better than what you did" battle between coaches when a skater switches from a famous coach to another one (the subject of "beat" and "lose" was TAT, not artur of course)
And, she's not his main coach of course: given her age and her health situation, I don't think she'll be ever able to coach anyone full-time again, but we all know how much power she has!

He skated a new ex program in Ilia Averbuch's show last week. I think the music is by Muse (not exactly my favorite band, lol.)

I like the choreography, but something about the timing seems a little... off? Maybe a change in music would do it; like you, I'm all Muse'd out.He skated a new ex program in Ilia Averbuch's show last week. I think the music is by Muse (not exactly my favorite band, lol.)

Artur Gachinski was still in town, working with his coach Alexander Uspenski on two new programs: a “dance” short (he didn’t recall the name of the music) and “Balada de la trompeta” by Raphael for the long program.
“Both programs were choreographed by Maxim Staviski and I went especially to Bulgaria to work with him,” Gachinski said. The 2011 World bronze medalist feels ready to attack again after a few unsuccessful seasons. He has not made the team for European and/or Worlds since 2012.
“All my injuries are healed now, and I’m feeling good,” Gachinsky added.
