I hope Dmitriev realized that this is the kind of competition Alexei and Kristina have to make - clean! The hassle for the triple loop was completely unjustified IMO, and they could have started their upward trajectory last year already, but at least they are doing it now!
Hoping for another good skate tomorrow! :clapper:

They broke all their PBs at the NHK Trophy. They also scored above 200 points for the first time. Big Congratulations!

It will be very interesting to see if they can beat Z/E at Nationals. I still prefer Z/E above A/R but I would be OK with A/R going to the Olympics.

Great GP season for them this year!
Shame about the salchow today but they were very good overall. I read that Kristina was a little sick but she doesn't look affected by it.
I'm still not completely sold on the La la land FS but the first 1min15 of the program is fabulous!

They will skate at the Shanghai Trophy this week. Sui/Han and Peng/Jin will skate there also.

On the one hand I feel sad, 'cause I always wished them a bit of better luck. At least, they had the luck and could go to the Olys. I like them as people, especially Alexei. He comes across as a really nice and funny guy.
On the other hand, I really don't know where they were going. So, I doubt they'll be back. Much will also depend on how the next generation does on senior ice.

It's official. Kristina Astakhova has retired:

It is very difficult for me to write this post. But I can not remain silent.
Apparently, this Olympic season will be for our couple with Christina Astakhova final.
Christina decided to withdraw from the sport. I was determined to skate for at least 4 more years. But to convince or persuade Christina to continue to go for a drive did not turn out at me, neither at the trainer, nor at Federation of figure skating.
And it can be understood. All these exhausting workouts, injuries, loads, uncomfortable schedules from 10:00 to 22:00, choreography 6 times a week, constant lack of money, stress at competitions, responsibility for the country ... and even this restless Rogonov, ready to endure this all 4 more years
We were called Crystals ...
And I would be glad to still be on the ice, but it seems that Christina's decision is final.
Perhaps someday you will see our couple in ice shows.
But now I feel the strength, and an irresistible desire to continue to grow as an athlete and compete.
Therefore, at the moment I am considering all possible and impossible options ...
Thanks to our coach Arthur Dmitriev for his support and strong shoulder.
Thanks to the choreographer Sergei Komolov for his faith and steep programs.
Thanks to Kristina Astakhova for patience, work and incredible talent!
Thanks to our fans for their support and love!
Thanks to the Federation of figure skating of Russia for understanding and this wonderful video!
It was cool, but the best, of course, is ahead!

From the wording it seems he wants to continue to compete. Is he looking for a partner then? I can’t think of any senior decent pair lady in Russia. And if he chooses junior lady, the age difference may be huge, and one olympic cycle may not be enough time to make a decent senior pair partner out of junior lady.
