From the other thread:
I guess we have another official split
http://vpsfund.org/441-1/
Anna confirms she and Mozgov have split up
- Was carrying an injury this year, but that is not why they split and she does want to carry on skating
- She was completely surprised by the split, she had thought everything was fine and happy until he told her in April that the coaches had found him a new partner & they would be skating together from the next day
- Sounds like her parents had funded the partnership a lot, including finding medical treatment for Sergei.
- She will look for a new partner, but because of her height it will be hard
This is ridiculous. Have they learned nothing from 2 years ago? Y/M didn't have a wonderful season, but it was on par with what previous WJCs have done in the last 4 years, and they were hampered by injury. Betina is not in any way an upgrade from Anna, her posture is horrendous and any presentation is based on an expressive face rather than an ability to use her body. Most of all I'm shocked that Kustarova would let Anna be blindsided like this when she's seen (and given tons of interviews about) how difficult it was for Ruslan & Elena.
Maybe Mozgov has real reasons for wanting another partner, but why is it so impossible for these skaters to treat their partners with the slightest shred of decency?
I think Anna's best option is to try out with Khaliavin? And hope that he sees her & staying in Russia as a better option than switching countries.

So here is a new couple Popova/Mozgov who will train in Kustarova's group.
I wonder what new partners Anna Yanovskaya and Yuri Vlasenko will have...
I guess we have another official split
