Last March, Russia's Andrei Mozalev realized one of his dreams and stepped on top of the podium at the 2020 ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. It was the highlight of a great season for the now 17-year-old, who made the podium in all events he entered except for the Russian Championships at the senior level. Now, following the involuntary two-month break from on-ice training, Mozalev is happy to be back on the ice in the training camp in Novogorsk since end of May and to prepare for the next season.

We can only hope that there will be a 2020-21 season!

Where do you think Mozalev will rank in the stack of the current senior Russian men if everyone is able to maintain the technical level they had the previous season?

I think he will be able to hold his own, but obviously it will be difficult to come up on top. Many people are talking about the deep field among the Russian ladies, but it looks as if the men are really picking up again. That will improve the competition at national level, but could also mean being left out of Europeans and Worlds due to the performance of the day at Nationals. However, I also think he's got time.
