At the European Championship this is possible, but at the Russian Championship - no way, especially for Andrei, who is not one of the favorites. The level of competition here is quite different.
I am keeping fingers crossed for him. If he moves to another fed, that would be a dream, but I assume not...so...
I've been thinking about it since the participant list was published. Honestly, not a surprise.
Im not surprised he is moving coaches either but im shocked he is doing it in the middle of the season. I thought he would at least wait till the end of the season to change things. 3 months with a new coaching staff is not going to change much at this point but I guess next season is the goal here.
Omigosh, I need to buy
that's epic!
Really? I've been suggesting it for 3 years now with all the fears in the world. The kid will either end up broken or a champion. Let's see... can't say I am NOT freaking out, but I am also hopeful that it will get him an invite into exhibition tournament, plus Samsonov and Mozalev will make a great partners in the rink, they have similar attitude
His St. Petersburg team just didn't declare him for the tournament and didn't give him any notice. But it's all for the best. He'll have the opportunity to fully train without distractions. Given his lack of training, he's not ready for the jumping tournament.
He's 11th on the Nats, that's a failure. If his results don't improve at the Spartakiade, he won't make the national team, and now he has a hypothetical chance. Then he'll have no ice and no funding.
Hope he heals well.
I thought about it. But there are new sponsors, one of them is international.
That's excellent.
