Is he OK? How is his injury? Have you information about that?
He can skate but I'm not sure how much jumping he can do or is doing. It doesn't seem to be career threatening.
My advice to his coaching team would be to help him do more work in the gym and monitor his nutrition. Do weights training to build muscle mass because he is so thin at the moment, and has been for the last 18 months.

Thank you so much for the update! Glad that he is still skating - I hope they don't have him do too much jumping just now, since I suppose the season has ended for him, and it would be better to treat the injury and not push himself when there is no need.
Let's remember this classic, beautiful moment again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuiQRpP7gjs
There isn't really much going on for Sasha skating wise. And honestly, I don't see the need for him to participate in any more competitions this season. Althought it is possible that Mishin might register him for SOMETHING (if he hasn't already) before the season truly ends.
The past 2 years (since post-Euros 2016) for Sasha has really been a case of "wasted potential". Is it all too late? No it's not. But he can't go on doing the same old, same old in the weeks and months to come.
Therefore, I am going to be very direct and say this now. Sasha only has two options if he is to progress in any significant manner from the situation that he is in:
1. Mishin completely overhauls his coaching approach (this includes things like scheduling, being more involved in his student's physical well-being, paying more attention to non-jumping elements, better programs etc)
OR
2. Sasha changes coaches.
This is my conclusion. And this has been my conclusion for the past 22 months. Do it now, or forever regret what could have been.
This skater is very dear to me. So I say these now, in the hope that he may do something proactive to change his current predicament. Deep down inside though, I know pretty well that he won't take any action. But Sasha, surprise us for once.

Agreed.
I hope they take it easy for the rest of this season, and concentrate on getting Sasha back to health & physical strength again. This season has been such a terrible mess, right from the beginning.
I would like to see an interview with Sasha about what has been going on with him, but I don't expect it.

I don't know if there is any video - I've not found any, at any rate - so in lieu of that, here are the judges protocols from the

Hello,
Thanks for sharing!!!!
I'm glad to see hi is recovering fitness. I really want to see him skating safe and nice next season so, I shall keep my fingers crossed.
He was skating at an average of 9-10 competitions a season before he got injured last year so the injury was his body's way of telling him (and Mishin) that enough was enough. A long rest was due. Hopefully they will be more sensible with his schedule next season.
