2022-23 Russian Men's Figure Skating

[Flying Feijoa]

Gleb Lutfullin and Ilya Yablokov have been added to the senior reserve. Georgy Likhachev has been added to the novice reserve.

Still no Semion Soloviov.

Great, I hope that means Ilya's knee is fully recovered.

Any news on Matvei Vetlugin? He did at least as well this season as a couple of the guys on the list...

Mikhail Kolyada didn't make the national team for the first time since the 2014-2015 season. Nine seasons, but not the tenth. No information about new programs, so... It looks like the end of a career

Thanks for the update. I'm glad for Gleb and Ilya, and wish there'd have been good news also for Matvei, who would be well deserving of the acknowledgement.

But I'm sad to see that they didn't allocate a spot to Misha in the end. As I said, I've been worried about this, as I thought that were he to lose the financial support, that might be the deciding factor to make him call it quits. I enjoy his skating very much, so I'd be sad to see him go. And besides, I feel that between the health issues and the international ban, last season would not be the "right /fair" way to end his career.

Fingers crossed that we'll get some news about him and that he continues, so he can at least enjoy one season of fullfilling skates in good health

Matvei was only 10th at Nationals, and there're usually only 9 spots, plus Mark who had to WD. So, top 8 at nationals + Mark.

As for Ilya, I think he was included as a national team member who had health reasons that affected his results. He was on the junior team and it looks like they gave juniors' reserve spot to the senior team because of him.

He won't lose it completely, there're still local funding from the regional team, plus he trains in a state-funded school.

But I think it's not a good sign that he and SinKats are the only top skaters who weren't added to the team.

Me too.

He didn't prepare well for last season because of the surgery. I want to see him in action after a productive off-season.

he deserves a spot on the national team

I am still hoping to see Popov in reserve... or at test skates...

It's time to start a theme for the 2023-2024 season, isn't it? I guess we were only waiting for one announcement, and here it is.

Today, in an interview with Maxim Trankov, Mikhail Kolyada announced that he is putting his sporting career on pause.

UPD: The program has not yet aired, this is an insider, so the information is not verified. But it is quite predictable.

I agree. @AlexBreeze would you be able to kick off the 2023-24 thread in the same format as the women's one?

I suspect the program has been already shown in the far east.

Yes, but a little later.

The information has been officially confirmed. Kolyada is no longer competing.

End of an era, I guess.
I doubt he's going to come back.
Hopefully we will continue to see him in the skating world, especially with show programs, but maybe also as a coach or choreographer?? Has he said anything about a possible future?
One of my absolute favourite skaters, it was to be expected, but I still feel very sad.

Before, he mentioned intention to become a coach. The podcast with him is not out yet, it will be in 7 hours.
