Hello! Happy Happy birthday to Adian. I wish the best for him, and miss him a lot.
It’s just lovely and a joy to watch pics of Adian now. Makes me wish, he changed coaches much earlier, but oh well. But it’s great to see he is doing so well nowadays.Well, he looks great, healthy and happy. He's clearly a lot more confident and relaxed than he ever looked with Eteri.
Two, three months ago I would have agreed with you. I actually even investigated if I could bring him to my country some months ago. But know I don’t think it would be a good option for him. Adian is studying at the Moscow sport university, which is a very reputable faculty. So he really gets a good base and education for professional coaching with that. During the camps he has a chance to learn from very good coaches, who work with world class athletes at CSKA (Savosin, Uspenski, …). If he would decide to skate for some obscure European country, he would have to interrupt his studies and he would not be able to participate in these camps. His coaching career seems to start off so well – why risking it? And actually Adian himself now seems to be prepared and very eager to start this new chapter in his life judging from his recent entry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BmYoYVxj6g4/?taken-by=adyanpitkeevAs far as ice dance goes, if he's really interested, I hope he won't give up trying. Some small federation would surely be lucky to have him.
Adian will participate in one more skating camp in October: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4I2JFAeAZ/?taken-by=adyanpitkeev
AND TODAY he and his band will perform their FIRST LIVE CONCERT

And Adian will not only play the guitar, but also sing (https://ask.fm/AdikPitkeev/answers/151031729998)!
Hopefully there will be some videoclips of it available, I would love to see it.
Looks like the desperately shy boy has changed a lot. Not only did Adian sing in public, it was even in a competition. You can watch it hereWow, the previously desperately shy boy is going to sing? In public? I definitely want to see that!
Well, never say no. Sometimes injuries might heal with time (see Deanna Stellato). But I think at this point it’s just highly unlikely that Adian will compete again unless some miracle happens. That he is coaching a lot is evidence that his plans to continue in ice dance also didn’t work out.Does Adian have any chance of continuing skating?
