After great Yagudin-Pluschenko rivalry, there seems to be no great skaters left. Current skaters will have a hard time winning a bronze at Europeans. I don't see the situation changing any time soon.
Kovtun has a 3A? That is impressive because the two guys going to the Junior Grand Prix Final this year really don't yet.
Yes, it's true, but not for Tarasova, for Buyanova (Vodorezova), Sotnikova's and Borodulin's coach. But Tarasova often helps Buyanova's students, she choreographed both Sotnikova's programs and Borodulin's FSIs it true what I heard in TEB that Dimitriev Jr left Mishin for Tarasova? Deja vu?
But it will change, I'm sure. Maybe not soon and not for 2014, but it will. I saw some really promising boys at the Russian cup events, 15 y.o. Maxim Kovtun, who now has good 3A and overall package and will go to the JGP next year, and even younger boys (b. in 1997-1998) like Tarasenko and Samarin, I'm sure some of them can change the situation
Yes, he did it in both programs at the Russian cup and it looked solid. I couldn't find video on youtube, but here is his 3A-3T at practice

Ok thanx for confirmation
I read that Borodulin has boot problems, but what kind of boot problem is that and he is thrown off the season?

I am looking for the next Yagudin, but I don't thing Russia will ever get one. Maybe I'm asking for too much.
