Adian Pitkeev

Till last weekend Adian had been on vacation in Greece. He posted two pics on his Instagram:

Beginning of his holidays: https://www.instagram.com/p/BjhkdnyD8w3/?taken-by=adyanpitkeev - he fell asleep while being in the sun, so that’s why he got a one sided sunburn. Guess he really needed that vacation. :laugh: I think it was his first vacation after two or even three years? :scratch2:

End of holidays: https://www.instagram.com/p/BjwqBunjUPm/?taken-by=adyanpitkeev

And right after his return he went to a skating camp at Gorjatchi Kljutch (Krasnodar region), where he will coach together with Sergei Dobrin. :)
 
Time for a few updates. As mentioned right after his Holidays Adian went to a skating camp in Goriachi Kliutch, where he assists Sergei Dobrin.

Some pictures:

Clips of Adian coaching:
Walleys: https://vk.com/video302472431_456239017 - this is the first time I see him jumping again. Well only singles, but still it’s a hint that his back might be better now. :pray:
Smiling and fooling around: https://vk.com/video302472431_456239018

Adian choreographing a SP for a young skater (it’s Adian's choreo and he also chose the music):

I wish Adian would consider skating in shows. Even without jumps his skating is beautiful. :love:

Ice dancing for fun in Goriachi Kljutch:
https://scontent-frt3-1.cdninstagra...936_250250315764177_7366299993150036422_n.mp4 - it’s from Instagram stories, so the clip might be gone in a few hours and you have to be quick to watch it. :)
 
Time for updates again. Good and bad news. Right after the camp in Goriachi Kliutch Adian went to UFA in Bashkortostan for another camp organized by the figures skating league, where he coaches alongside Maxim Savosin (so these camps are ZSKA-driven). Sasha Proklova has also been invited. :thumbsup:

Adian participated for the third time in a camp of this organization. Now here are the bad news: since he has been constantly participating in camps and before that on vacation this means that there was no possibility for him to train for more than two months now. I guess this is a hint that he couldn’t continue in ice dance and now focuses on his coaching career. :cry: However, Adian doesn’t answer questions on that issue on his ask, so no official statement yet. :(

In any case I now uploaded the clip where he is ice dancing for fun on my vk-side, maybe this will be the only memory of Adian’s ice dance trial:

The good news: Adian really seems to enjoy coaching an it looks like he will become a very good coach. More pictures from Goriachi Kliutch from a Russian fan page:

https://78.media.tumblr.com/70fedaf41afd17ecbb1245a6d66f6ee2/tumblr_pcmto5tTQ11v1xw2vo1_1280.jpg - Adian apparently watched soccer world cup and is a big Tchertchesov fan. :laugh:

(There are more pics on this Russian fan page, in case you like to see more: http://diarysnowqueen.tumblr.com/).

And a little clip doing off-ice training:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BlxkzQhHeLB/?taken-by=figure_skating_league :)
 
Well, he looks great, healthy and happy. He's clearly a lot more confident and relaxed than he ever looked with Eteri. As far as ice dance goes, if he's really interested, I hope he won't give up trying. Some small federation would surely be lucky to have him.

It’s just lovely and a joy to watch pics of Adian now. Makes me wish, he changed coaches much earlier, but oh well. :( But it’s great to see he is doing so well nowadays. :)

So more happy Adian:

Two, three months ago I would have agreed with you. I actually even investigated if I could bring him to my country some months ago. But know I don’t think it would be a good option for him. Adian is studying at the Moscow sport university, which is a very reputable faculty. So he really gets a good base and education for professional coaching with that. During the camps he has a chance to learn from very good coaches, who work with world class athletes at CSKA (Savosin, Uspenski, …). If he would decide to skate for some obscure European country, he would have to interrupt his studies and he would not be able to participate in these camps. His coaching career seems to start off so well – why risking it? And actually Adian himself now seems to be prepared and very eager to start this new chapter in his life judging from his recent entry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BmYoYVxj6g4/?taken-by=adyanpitkeev

Translation:
“Two eventful summer months have passed. It was very nice to work at each camp, I got much pleasure and experience (from it). Thank you for the invitation Vilena Zavosin, Maxim Zavosin and Sergei Dobrin. I’d be greatful for further cooperation. “

Sergei Dobrin answered: “Don’t worry Adian, everything will work out for you”. :)

Adian is still so young, but he can be very proud of himself, not only how hard he tried to come back, but also how he left all these disappointments behind him and moved on to a new profession with full engagement and positive energy. Watching him on the ice with the kids and how much the kids adore him is just so very cute. :love:

I only wish Adian would also consider to skate a bit in shows. He is still in great shape. People still remember him and jumps aside his skating is as beautiful as ever. I wish he would try. But if he wants to focus on coaching solely, I’m happy with that either.:yahoo:
 
Adian posted a new clip playing the guitar on his instagram (actually right after his return form the camps :))
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmq7gt2jpbO/?taken-by=adyanpitkeev

And here is a clip with his band from the vk page of one of Adian's friends:
https://vk.com/id108292143?z=video108292143_456239388

Well, the singer … let's say he still needs to practice a lot. :p

At the end of October Adian will again participate as coach in skating camp organized by the figure skating league:
https://ligafskate.ru/ledovye-sbory...im-s-a-zhuka-s-26-oktyabrya-4-noyabrya-2018g/

Sergei Voronov skates his SP to Apassionata this year and though I really like Sergei, when I hear this music I always remember Adian skating to it. :(

Adian will participate in one more skating camp in October: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4I2JFAeAZ/?taken-by=adyanpitkeev

AND TODAY he and his band will perform their FIRST LIVE CONCERT :rock:
https://photosp.ru/images/2018/09/24/ADIK.jpg

And Adian will not only play the guitar, but also sing (https://ask.fm/AdikPitkeev/answers/151031729998)! :clap:

Hopefully there will be some videoclips of it available, I would love to see it. :)

Wow, the previously desperately shy boy is going to sing? In public? I definitely want to see that! Good for him!

Looks like the desperately shy boy has changed a lot. :biggrin: Not only did Adian sing in public, it was even in a competition. You can watch it here :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS0sZ5BJFBQ

And a nice picture:
http://diarysnowqueen.tumblr.com/image/178624510185

In my book Adian was more shouting than singing, but I guess the vocal part is the weak point ot the group. :laugh:
However, Adian's group won the competition, so they will perform soon again. :rock:
https://vk.com/wall-165549028_96

Not my favourite music style, but it's good to see him happy and doing well. I don't think I've ever seen him with such a big smile on the ice like it could be seen from him at the end of the performance. :party:


And there is even more good news, Gavril Kokovkin, whose SP has been choreographed by Adian is 2nd after the SP at the 2nd event of Russian Cup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3orORqgHqp8

So this is good publicity for Adian’s choreography. Hopefully we will see a lot more of it. :hap10:
 
Adian is cute :luv17:
Here is an article about Gavriil Golovkin https://zubakovsport.com/407гк/ Very intresting to read.
Part about Adian:
At first they planned that both programs would be made by Sergey Komolov. But in the end, Sergey Vladimirovich himself chose music for an arbitrary one. For a short program - Adyan Pitkeev, because Adyan at that time worked at the training camp of Sergey Vladimirovich. And he offered to give me a program, since it seemed to him that I resemble Adyan himself. I liked the programs, the work was very cool and fun. I am very grateful to them.
I am so glad that there is finally a good skater from Krasnodar in Krasnoadar Krai :yahoo: (before there were only skaters form Sochi) but sad that I haven't know that Adian was inthe city but I haven't known :tantrum:
 
plushyfan said:
Does Adian have any chance of continuing skating?
Click to expand...
Well, never say no. Sometimes injuries might heal with time (see Deanna Stellato). But I think at this point it’s just highly unlikely that Adian will compete again unless some miracle happens. :cry: That he is coaching a lot is evidence that his plans to continue in ice dance also didn’t work out. :(

However, his back seems to be better now as he was just recently doing a triple jump again:
https://vk.com/wall-58643094_2080

Adian's jumps are still beautiful, in particular considering that it looks like he had not jumped for quite a while. I so much wish he’d consider to skate in shows. In any case I’m just happy that his back seems to be much better now. :hap93:
 
Some more updates / news – pictures form the last training camps in Newinovmisk and afterwards with the figure skating league from Instagram and the snowqueen’s fanpage:

Adian also attended Cup of Russia with his girl friend (it’s Maria Simonova, a former ice dancer --> her and Adian ice dancing for fun a couple of months ago https://vk.com/id302472431?z=video302472431_456239019/videos302472431/pl_302472431_-2):

Adian with another beautiful girl on his side, Elena Radionova:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BqUS70IBMmD/

And last news - he will perform again with his band on 4th December:
https://vk.com/phantasm_band
 
Adian and his band gave another concert on 30th December 2018:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDjwVsusQxU and another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Dh6MdYK6U

Some pics of that concert on a Russian fanpage http://diarysnowqueen.tumblr.com/ (if you like them, please feel free to click on the hearts – I think it’s Always great if fans keep up sites for skaters even after their retirement, so it might be nice for the snowqueen to see that others fans also are still interested in how Adian ist doing :)).

The group was even awarded a price there. They won professional studio recordings (pics of receiving the award can also be seen on that page, my favorite pics https://66.media.tumblr.com/658a5436b8adedfb90b24cd5b8bb0eb4/tumblr_pkq5iy5Bmo1v1xw2vo2_1280.jpg + https://66.media.tumblr.com/bfcc6d6db4c738e9e08caf908f2d5040/tumblr_pkq5gxqPo31v1xw2vo4_r1_1280.jpg



More very good news – Adian’s back appears to be much better now and he seems to have restored almost all of his triples jumps again, including 3t-3t (you have to click on the right side of the videos, first clip is Sergei Dobrin jumping, then Adian):
https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdHzaeBoBy/
https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdK_DuBdJN/
https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdQKShhB_5/
Not bad considering that Adian didn’t jump for at least one year. :rock:

However, when asked why he is no longer competing Adian answered on his ask that he would still skate if his back would allow daily quad practice: https://ask.fm/AdikPitkeev/answers/152178144078 :sad4:



It looks like Adian is now mostly coaching with Sergei Dobrin’s Academy in connection with this together with his girlfriend he just recently held a coaching camp in Nadym and local TV took some interviews:

Short quotes and coaching after minute 14 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GHc1wdWMrE
15-minute interview in a TV-Studio - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muX5CFb8mAg

Aww, Adian is still a bit shy. :) It’s by the way the first time that he officially announces his retirement from skating (so even ice dance) and that he has completely moved to coaching. Well, one can see this interview was not any easy one for him. :sad21: But it looks like he will become a very good coach in future. :thumbsup:

And I still hope we might see him skating in some shows now that jumps are back again. :pray:
 
Today is Adian’s 21st Birthday, so happy Birthday Adian! :hap10::party2::hb:

I wish you Love, Luck and Happiness! Success with coaching and the music and with whatever you will decide to do – may your dreams come true! And I wish you good health, may your back improve and stop bothering you! :pray:

Adian will by the way give another concert with his group on 18th May. :rock:

Latest pic coaching / choreographing in Tver: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFxcxmFfnO/

I will post more updates during weekend, there has been also a nice interview with Adian in the press recently and I will summarize it and also post more pics for those interested how he is doing. :)
 
Happy 21th birthday to Adian! Glad that he seems to be enjoying his life at present.
 
Happy birthday Adian! :hap10::hap10::hap10:
Take care of yourself, be in good health, much love, joy and happiness to you in private and in professional live! Success in your coaching career with skating students just as wonderful, talented and hardworking as you were as a skater though with a bit more luck and their career. :pray:


Some updates what Adian has been doing recently (something I had planned to do much earlier …. :o:)

Adian started coaching on regular base at a Moscow rink last summer (here: https://www.instagram.com/armyofskaters/ ). So he has now a fix place to work with his own group. From what I’ve seen he is in charge for the younger groups, while Julia Lawrentchuk and Alexej Vasiliewsky coach more mature groups like junior and seniors.

Here are some pics and clips of Adian with his skaters:

https://vk.com/wall-58643094_2112

There has been a TV interview with members of his ice rink last autumn, Adian also talks a bit about his work here (one of his little ones is trying quads on a lounge!):

There were some mistakes but still a very talented girl. :thumbsup:

His skating kids by the way did kind of birthday rap for Adian, so sweet. :luv17:
