According to Molly…….Charlie & Meryl have been her skating idols since she was a young girl. I guess it’s a dream come true for her to get to train under Charlie

What did Tanith say?
If I recall correctly, something along the lines of she's skating to catch her partner, implying that she is the weak one in the partnership... Can't remember the other stuff but it was a bit harsh...
Good point. I like this team a lot as well.

But that would surely be one of the reasons why Yehor and Molly would reach out to Tanith/ Charlie and Co. Tanith offered constructive criticism, not raking over the coals. Tanith raved about Yehor's talents, and then she said that he was unfortunately skating down to Molly's abilities, when Molly needs to be skating up to Yehor's talents, in order for their partnership to grow in a successful direction!
If I heard that someone said this about me and my skating partner, I'd definitely reach out to them, especially when they have a school, and happen to be good coaches, as well as champion ice dancers!
When someone as skilled as Tanith is able to see what you are lacking and to express the critique so well, why wouldn't you want to work with such a coach in order to improve?! Working directly with Tanith/ Charlie, et. al. at MIDA, should make it possible to achieve what Tanith was talking about. This move by Yehor/ Molly makes all kinds of sense.
ETA:
I totally agree with @labgoat's post. I happened to post my comments prior to seeing labgoat's similar viewpoints.

I hear you - my eyes are old and my prescription big.
Anastasia Shabotova has been released (expelled would be more appropriate) from the Ukranian Federation.

So I read the statement from the Ukrainian Fed linked in the tweet and to me it seems she was just dismissed from the National Team, not from the Fed. But I don't speak Ukrainian and the translation is somewhat ambiguous. Maybe someone can clarify?
Ah, ok. The tweets also mention the national team.
Even if it's only the National team kicking her out and not the Fed, I think the end result is the same - her career as a Ukrainian skater is over.

I still think Charlie and Co. are a work in progress as choreographers and coaches. Scott Moir, Lambiel, Abbott, Buttle, et al were great skaters but coaching - transferring/teaching skill, artistry and inspiring/motivating and get the best out of their students takes talent, effort and maybe some education. Being a great skater does not mean great coach necessarily. Buttle, Bourne, Krylova, Dubreil and Lauzon, Orser, Ravi Walia, to a point Tracey Wainman, The Ponamarenko's ??? (I am having a brain freeze - 1992 dance champs), Tarasova, Mishkin,ae some examples of success. I do like that not everyone is going to IAM. As much as there are complaints about team Tuber. one could say the same as IAM - do we want to have so much power with one school. one day IAM will come to pass and they will b like Shipland or Zueva. Coaches are kind of like fashion I guess. Not everyone has the longeivity of a Frank Carroll or Carlo fassi.
