Andrei Mozalev

Apologies for my Google translate fail regarding my previous post. But he is a wonderful and sensible guy anyway! :)
I had no idea he and Liza used to be a couple. What a gentleman he is, when the rest of the skating world is against her :(

I found some photos of Andrei on holiday in Turkey, hopefully you can see them:

 
No problems, the colloquialisms are hard for the translating softwares, though they are getting better!

I am also waiting on the national team announcement, this time with less anxiety because Mozalev managed to hit at least 3 selection criteria for it (GP, EU, RusNt)

I kinda came to terms that the guys will have no international starts, so it’s like would he get Skate Syzran’ or Internationaux de Saransk…
 


I thought it would be more convenient.

On June 1, in honor of World Children's Day, fans posted on Instagram small video of one of Andrei's first competitions. February 2012, Mosalev is 8 years old and he is skating le petit marin. I take this opportunity to inform you that I was wrong, it's not "Yablochko", oh no, that would be too corny :ROFLMAO: They get the little boy program to the well known song "In the port of Cape Town," which is about sailors, ladies of the night :sneaky: and the port fight of the sailors with fatal outcome :oops: But it's very nice and has become almost folkloric in Russia.



Kirill Anatolievich gives instructions behind the scenes. This is the first season of their collaboration.
Ten years after this skating they will go to the Olympics together :giggle:

…even at that tender age, Mozalev already knew that his fate in figure skating would be to portray midlife crisis of sailors reflecting on former glory… when all other boys just danced Yablochko… 🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps without that little nautical number for little Mozi, we wouldn't have gotten Count Rezanov eight years later ☺️

For those who are wondering what I'm talking about but don't quite get the point (I understand that the baby`s number has music without words), I want to present a video of this song. This is my favorite version of this song, sung by an ordinary schoolgirl, but you can tell by the heartfelt performance how popular the song is and how much people love it.



Also attaching a translation of the text (one of the variants, since any folklore text has many variants)

In the port of Cape Town

The "Jeanette" with a hole in her side
Had to fix the rigging in the port of Cape Town.
Just before departing on a long journey
The crew was released ashore.
The sailors walked slouched, joining the streets,
While the breeze was caressing their new flared trousers.
They then headed to a place where they could easily
Get themselves both women and wines.

The same night another ship in the glare of her searchlights
Broke into the port.
Fourteen French sailors left the ship,
And debarked at the port.
Their gaits were like boats rocking in the sea.
Along the way they have come across the "Kate" tavern!
They have reached the place where they could easily
Get themselves both women and wines.

When they came to that restaurant and saw the English,
The French were just furious!
They took out their cutlasses and forgot the Naval Charter,
They started fighting like children of satan.
But disputes in Cape Town are always resolved by the Browning. Now the English started shooting!
A great misfortune has come to the place where everyone has no difficulty getting himself both women and wines.
...
Never again will the fourteen brave seamen
Ascend the deck.
The ships will leave them, silent and alien,
Lights of beacons would not attract them any more...
They would not sail or see harbors any more,
They would not seek pleasures on the shore any more!..
So do not go to places where you can easily
Get yourself both women and wine!..
So do not go to places where you can easily
Get yourself both women and wines!
 
Come to think of it, Varyag is a great soundtrack to the summer training of the Davydenko Band`s guys in Novogorsk, especially to the most dramatic moments, full of their own overcoming :ROFLMAO:

Moments like these
Oh, yes, for sure. It was a soundratck to many exam cramming session for me. Just hope his final outcome is better than Varyag’s.
 
So happy young Count made the national team, but on another hand, crying into my pillow because on a normal year it would have meant GPs and a chance to see him skate live! Aww.
 
We have an inspiring video with the best moments of training in Novogorsk. These video clips perfectly show how difficult it is to be a top-class athlete and to follow the path of a samurai. :ninja:



By the way, all the desperate guys in the video, except for the Shelkovnikov brothers, made the national team this year.

Always so thoughtful and sincere 👍

Very curious to see how second national only season would treat him. Last time he skated through injury, hopefully will be different this time. So far I didn’t see anything super special from Averbukh that hinted at any new Mozalev facets, but we’ll see how the programming will be. A bit less frantic would be nice, particularly if they are working with 3 PCSs. He will need to bring up that PE/IN or it will be more noticeable in the marks. I really want to see a program where it’s evident Mozalev loves that music as opposite to Mozalev loves skating.
