Well, it's is no different from other professional sports. Athletes can choose whether or not they want to change clubs or coaches. Sotskova has made her choice.
Buyanova's group has the best training conditions in Russia. Unrivaled. She is also a good coach. And then there is also that matter of a PCS advantage...
CSKA is a very rich and powerful club. And Buyanova is the head coach of figure skating there.
Perhaps Maria just feels that Panova has taken her as far as she can. And to go further she needs a coaching change.
Rafa is not that realistic an option. There would be monetary issues.
Well good for her :handw: I'm happy :agree: Thanks for the news!
