“It’s almost like being husband and wife” said Kostomarov, “sometimes you come to the practice in a bad mood, and you argue about nothing, and you take it out on each other. “I swear,” he added, “I don’t know how so many married ice dance and pairs teams do it – being together all the time – it would drive me crazy.”


“Even when they get to an age where most skaters are “washed up”, Zhulin added, because they are fighters, because they have discipline – they can translate this into another skill.”

Let's hope Abt can stay with him and coach, in addition to tours, now that he's retired.:cry:
