Am I right in remembering that Nikol Gosviani switched to skate for Georgia after last season? If not, why was she not at Russian Nats? Injury?
Whatever happened to sky_fly20?I hadn't heard anything, but I really hope what you say is correct.
Although there were lots of things that sky_fly20 and I had vastly different opinions on, this is one thing we agreed on. We both very strongly believed that Nikol should use her family background to skate for Georgia.
With the strength in depth of talent in Russia at the minute, Nikol's chances of getting back on the Russian team are zero. But, if she switched to Georgia, she would have a very good chance of getting international assignments.
At the end of the day, Elene Gedevanishvilli isn't going to be around forever. And, there doesn't seem to be any strong Georgian skaters to follow her. So, when Elene does hang up her skates, Nikol will be pretty much guaranteed the slot.
And in the meantime, having 2 good skaters competing for the same slot will push both Elene and Nikol to up their game.
It's a win-win situation for everybody. For Nikol, for Elene, and for the Georgian Federation.
I really hope this is happening!
