It's been a long time since there were any updates on Adian's condition...he was supposed to skate in the Magic on Ice show last weekend, and withdrew, and he is not at the test skates. I've seen clips of him skating, but I don't know if he can jump yet, after all this time. Is he going to be ready for the Grand Prix? :think: I hate to think of him losing much more time, but of course, health comes before everything else. I just don't want this to turn into another Proklova situation...

yes it does not look good. I read on Elena Vaitsekhovskaia's blog that Adian's recovery has been very slow & difficult. That's the only info I heard of him in a long time.

Adian has been on my mind and I was also worried about him too. So I decided to ask a friend in Moscow, who always provides us with a lot of info. and this was her answer. I am so heartbroken for him 
At this point I really want him to concentrate on healing properly and get back to his full health and not worry about competitions, even if that means he needs to take a year off. There is something much more important at the stake.
Unfortunately the news is not very good. As you know, his injury is rather serious, it takes a lot of time to recover. He has been under treatment since January. Nevertheless, he didn't stop training (but without jumps), he consulted specialists and doctors. In May his new coach Elena Buianova said that they already had some ideas for new programs but they didn't start preparing them because Adian still had health problems. In summer he went to Italy with his new team and also had much ice practices here, in Russia. Buianova has recently given some interviews but she has never said a word about Adian, mostly told about Adelina Sotnikova. Around August Adian said that he was well and at the same time his name appeared in the list of participants of Magic on Ice. I don't know exactly what happened but just one day before the show he said that he wouldn't take part in it (perhaps he was replaced by Alexander Samarin in short order but it's just my guess). I asked him carefully what happened but he doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't want to disturb him anymore. All I managed to learn for the moment is that his recovery is very slow and hard, he still has problems with his spine and muscle and joint pain, he is prohibited of doing some physical activities. Maybe they hoped that he would be ready for skating at Magic on Ice, or maybe he recently aggravated his injury... There is no answer (( Adian also had to withdraw from so called Open Skates in Sochi this weekend (this is not a competition but something like this, every member of Team Russia has to skate his/her/their programs for specialists and then for spectators before starting new season). His team hopes that he will be ready for Grand Prix or at least for Russian Nationals in December. But they can't predict anything, the situation is very difficult. Perhaps Adian will have to miss this season. Or, at the worst... I just don't want to think about it. He is so young and talented... I just pray for him and hope that everything will be fine and he will have a great career ahead of him.

My gut feeling is that he will probably have to skip the GP at least. I just hope he's getting the best medical treatment and comes back when he is ready, however long it takes. I can't imagine that this will end his career...look at Plushenko, he's had all kinds of back problems & keeps coming back. What a cruel sport this can be.

I agree. He is so young and there is no reason to rush, Kolyada was 20 last year when he bursted into the scene. There is plenty of time for him, if he proceeds wisely. Plushenko's case has been in heavy in my mind, and if this quad craze continue (which is more than likely), I am afraid more will end up like him, starting at much younger age... I am definitely not excited about this prospective :no:

I so agree. How many more talented skaters will we lose... is achieving an extra rotation in the air worth it really? I know it's a sport and the athletes will continue to risk their health regardless but there are limitations to what a human body can do I don't know ...sigh

He's one of my absolute favorite skaters. I hope things turn around for Adiyan and we see him return to the ice in good form.

At least he's still able to train in some way...probably focusing on skating skills. I bet his SS will be absolutely amazing he comes back...and I have to believe he will.

Yes, he trains, without jumps though. New SP&FS (no elements) are ready and have very good reviews.
According to Buianova they don't want to force his recovery.

On Adian’s official fanpage they ask his fans to send him messages for support:
https://vk.com/adyan_pitkeev
I think Adian is able to read and understand messages in English for those who don’t speak Russian and like to particpate. You can place your message here:
https://vk.com/topic-58643094_29534900
Obviously there is something very important going on right now for him, though there are no details given on his fanpage. But there certainly is a reason why they posted it right now. What I heard in Bratislava is that Adian is still under treatment for his back and that he gets treatment even abroad. However, there is still a question mark if he can continue to compete (this according to one remark of Elena Vaitsehovskaja in her recent article: https://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/reviews/chetyre-oborota-kotorye-potryasli-mir-1050964/).
I just hope that he will be completely healthy again soon in general and healthy enough to compete again if he wants to.
And I can't resist: special thanks to Eteri for this. :dev2:

Nothing good I am afraid. Someone talked to Adian at the CoR and he said his injury hadn't healed and it would probably not do so for a while

Oh boy...it's been almost a year, so this doesn't seem like something that is just going to go away. I wonder if he can ever come back. So unfair!
Adian + Yulia ice dance team anyone? Although he probably can't do lifts even, with his back issues...
