It's a bit of an odd pairing... Adian doesn't strike me as an ice dancer with his slight physique, and he might need to bulk up/gain muscle in order to handle lifts and whatnot.

To be correct the article says it IS still a trial.From the translation it is not definite she will be a coach, it was just a trial!
When announcing his retirement from single skating Adian mentioned that his back could only handle the burden of jumping up to a 3A, but he couldn’t do quads at all any longer. If I recall it right from certain studies, quads and even 3A put multiple time your body weight on the joints (I think quads 7-10 times). So if Adian could still jump easier triples without his back bothering him, he might be fine with the lifts, in particular as Alisa is petite. Though I'm too worried about it.And what about his back? I wouldn't think he could handle the lifts with his pain.
They certainly work on it. Single skating requires you to be very slim (in particular if you train with Tutberidze), so I guess when skating singles, Adian kept strict diet, so maybe he might bulk up a bit (though he certainly has a very slight figure by nature). To me he looks a bit more muscular / bulky here and this has been taken around February:It's a bit of an odd pairing...

I don't remember k/s competing last season
I can't change the thread title! You know nonmoderators can't change thread titles.
For me it smells like retirement from competitive skating, but I guess coaching is a good decision for now albeit nothing is set in ston even for her coaching Lozko / Pitkeev.
They did Two starts at GP + Russian Nationals, that's for sure.
I'm sad I won't see Lozko's unique and beautiful spins anymore...
They did one Senior B at least - I'd like to say Ondrej Nepela?
Tallinn Trophy.
Ziganshin was injured during the summer and I&Z didn't do the early season Challengers. I think they may have been signed up for Nebelhorn or something else, but withdrew. In any case, their first competition this season was Skate America. Tallinn was later, and that is where I&Z earned their SB score. (Essentially everyone at Tallinn earned their SB score there).
ETA - To clarify because I just realised: We were talking about Kavaguti/Smirnov - I realise the confusion arose because I quoted the whole of Ares' post, when I was only replying to the part pertaining to K/S. I see how that could be very misleading, sorry about that!
Doesn't sound like something that will work
As bot skaters have no previous ID experience, it would make more sense to go to a more experienced coach, no? A coach who is learning how to coach doesn't sound very good for skaters who need to learn a lot in short time.
Wait, what: have Lozko and Pikteev retired from singles skating?? :roll9:
