I just watched a few clips of him on youtube. I can't say he's has good overall package. He has good jumps and spins, but everything else needs work.
I am looking for the next Yagudin, but I don't thing Russia will ever get one. Maybe I'm asking for too much.
I too would love to see the next Yagudin, but we ought to remember that even Yagudin did not emerge fully-formed, Pallas Athena-style. Give the young Russian men a chance--Yagudin had the artistry of a refrigerator on ice when he was 15, and look how well he eventually turned out!
Anyways, I really saw some potential in Borodulin, and am sad about to hear about his boot problems. Hopefully he will return all the stronger.
