Russian ice dancers Aleksandra Shinkarenko & Mikhail Antonov have split.

I'm upset. Shinkarenko always has bright dances highlighting her personality. She is finding a partner so far. I had doubts whether it's possible but I hope she finds someone and continues.

Interesting, Ilia Malinin supports Kaganovskaya/Nekrasov:

New senior team: Sofia Aleksova & Sviatoslav Nefedov

Sad they are not in SPb anymore. But nice to see Sofia continuing.

I guess the upside is that she's still young. Sucks that even in Russia, it's still hard for girls to find a male partner.

Sofia Tyutyunina and Matvei Grachev have teamed up again.

Them training at krylova is so messy lol. Matvei's previous partner Daria is still there as well as Artem who was breifly sonya's partner. XD

Also apparently Antonov is still at krylova. He was spotted with the coaches at a novice competition a month or two ago.

OMG, the DRAMA!!! And Step/Buk are still competing? Hmm, Irina & Devid look compelling. On the surface, their married team rivals seem so hot and bothered. Granted, I haven't seen that rival team's skating. Politically, as usual, Step/Buk would be favored, if allowed back internationally.

Anna Kolomenskaya/Artem Frolov returned to the headquarters of Denis Samokhin.

Looks like Anna and Artem returned to their old coach. I understand it's normal for skaters to jump around but they were only with krylova for a year. It's hard to see instant results, I feel like they had a good free dance this year but just didn't perform well overall.
But my guess is that it had more to do with the fact that krylova just has too many skaters now and they don't want to be low priority.

Yes I think the reason is that Samokhin doesn't have any top seniors anymore.
