The Shelkovnikov brothers transferred from Kirill Davydenko's group to Evgeny Plushenko's group.
(And this is a surprise even for me).

(And this is a surprise even for me).

I wonder if Davydenko has problems with ice time that is available for his group as this level of exodus in one season isnt normal. I get Andrei leaving as he needed to change something but this many of his top students transferring out in few months is unexpected.

To me, come to think of it, it's not that much of a surprise. If I take a little time to adjust and digest this news. These guys had no sports results, their motivation was falling, they decided to try somewhere else. I am very happy that Arseniy was accepted by Tutberidze. I can't say anything about the choice of the Shelkovnikov brothers. Time will tell.

About Arseniy I can say that he is doing well and adapting to the new group. Especially since Andrei is there.

I have my suspicions that Ksenia will be next.
I feel a bit sorry for the Davydenko Band, it seemed like they would do well. But it didn't.

It's a pity since he is obviously not great at producing really strong jumpers but his skaters have obvious qualities and the programs are interesting. I like that other young guy he has... Is his name Ivan Ramzenkov?
I think there need to be different camps and different approaches so that in the end there are skaters with different skills competing against each other. Plus, Davydenko did seem like a decent guy so far?

Yes, Ivan Ramzenkov is still here, he won bronze at two important junior starts, he will be part of the junior national team, so Kirill Davydenko will be part of the national team coaches for next season. Time will tell what happens next.

Makar Ignatov switched to AoP

Makar Ignatov switched to AoP

It was quite predictable. He's in a relationship with Sasha Trusova, it was reasonable to think that someone would move in - either her or him. Besides, Makar has been a regular on Plushenko's show during the season for several years now. It was logical to move closer to the organizers to be able to train.

Andrei Mozalev and Arseniy Dimitriev have quite assimilated into Tutberidze's team.

And Arseniy's solo cascade 4Т+1Eu+4S+3A:

I assume Dimitriev has an eye on pairs eventually?

Also, curious to see how Voronovs would fare with Butzaeva.

His girlfriend is a former pairs figure skater. But except for that, there's no interest in pairs figure skating yet.

Hello everybody. I am collecting datas into Thread: How should ISU address potentially dangerous elements?

I created a list of skaters with multiple quad jumps = "MULTIPLE QUAD SKATERS" (three and more quad jumps in Free Program, one of them being loop / flip / lutz / axel).

I don't have knowledge about today's Russian skaters. If you would know somebody who is executing multiple quads at competitions, could you let me know, please? Or write straight on the Thread.

List is here in the last part of the post - https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/t...dangerous-elements.98149/page-10#post-3281675

I need name of skater, his birthday - months and year, date of competition and executed quad jumps. I don't persist on all quad jumps beeing landed cleanly.

@AlexBreeze helped with few skaters. And I am looking for more datas.

Andrei Kutovoi announces break in his career due to health and motivation problems.

Andrei Kutovoi announces break in his career due to health and motivation problems.

It is really sad, because Kutovoi is so insanely innately great with music and dance. He struggled for many years though, so it is probably natural that he can't stick with it any more and looks for something else. Any chance of seeing him in dance?
