Maybe someone can translate it.

This is sad:cry:

Navka and Zhulin and official divorce (Fedpress - July 15, 2009)

Famous skater, Olympic champion Tatiana Navka and her coach, equally famous retired skater Alexander Zhulin, have officially divorced. That put the end to a relationship that has lasted a decade; it also put an end to the gossip swirling around their ex-family - accordingto "MyJane.ru".

"Alexander is now officially a free man," shares Zhulin's close friend. "Not even a stamp in the passport ties him to Tanya now. Their child is the only thing that will always connect them, " writes Афиша@Mail.Ru.

"Yes, it's a done deal, I'm free," casually says Zhulin.

"Alexander and I still live together," continues to insist Tatiana Navka.

A year ago, when the divorce proceedings of the gloried skaters was already in full swing and the relationship between former spouses was strained at best, they nonetheless endured to family vacation in Italy for the sake of their child. Now it's different. Navka has spent a few weeks this summer with Marat Basharov in Los Angeles, whereas Zhulin is vacationing in France with the young skater Natalya Mikhailova.
 
Here's another article on the same subj from a Russian tabloid :

with Zhulin posing in those pics with a 'young figure skater' Natalia Mikhailova. Not sure though if it's indeed her in those pics.

Saw this one coming for a long time, sad for them but sadly this is not uncommon... :(
 
how did you see it coming? ;(

I hope things work out for both of them.
 
Tiny, rumors about this have been circulating for a very long time, probably a year at least.
 
Yes that's definitely Mikhailova...
That's sad, but if it's for the best of both of them best of luck to them.
I think Zhulin is in France coaching P/B right now...
 
Seems like Zhulin got a dose of his medicine if the reports of Navka and Basharov are true. Sad that a child was in the middle of all this.
