From what I know the real long term ame sex coach-skater relationships are only
Irena and her coach, Kristy and her coach are the only long time same sex coach-skater relationships, maybe Witt and hers. But under communisim sport system, you have no freedom to switch coach. If you are not listening you are out of national team. So Witt and her coach's should not be counted.
Arakawa just switched to TT last year, and this year already showed the sign that Arakawa is not happy. Oksana was taken by Galina not too long before her Olympic win, and her previous coach was a gentleman, not too long after her winning, Oksana left Galina. Afer 2003 Sarah Hughes did not talk to Robin again, her early years' coach was Jeff D, and her current coach is a guy. At kiss-cry it's always Mr. Sato sat with Miki Ando, all the interviews said she takes from Mr. Sato rather than Mrs. Sato. Yoshi Ondo just switched to Weissiger and you can count it as long time relationship. Plus Weissiger's major pupil is Michael Weiss which fits into opposite sex coach-skater rel ationship. Now Tim went to her. BeBe left Tiffany Chin, at past two nationals she let Don Law put her on ice.
