Based on this new interview of Sliusarenko, Katia is still retired.
I wouldn’t trust much that interview. If she wanted to be retired, she wouldn’t post her profile on icepartnersearch, and she wouldn’t have a try out at Vasiliev’s and in Canada. I think the interview said that she retired because they wanted to give some reason why Sopot’s partnership broke down. It wouldn’t sound very good if they wrote that the partnership was very successful one year (1st at JGPF and 3rd at junior worlds), but then she had a serious illness and missed a lot of training time and therefore the following season she struggled. And after this season he or his coaches decided to dump her. Doesn’t sound that great, does it? That wouldn’t make Poluyanova/Sopot very popular.

It says that she doesn't have triples and 50/50 even 2A. Because of her ingury she couldn't progress(learn triples) and it was't clear if she will even continue to compite, so Sopot decided to try with Poluianova (plus they were always a pair in real life) and waste his time. It is normal to try skatying whith someone else and looking for the best for yourself, nothing bad or selfish. In juniors it's more common because girls and boys are growing and can't control their emotions.
I understand the reason why he changed a partner, but I didn’t like the timing (she was trying to overcome an illness, which is not her fault) and I didn’t like that they are saying as a reason for the breakdown that she retired when she clearly doesn’t intend to retire. And that she doesn’t have triples - well, Panfilova doesn’t have them either. Should we expect them to take her partner away and give him to someone else?

As long as there are no thread about them you can use this one. It is partly about them.

By the way, why does your link start at 66 seconds?
A big interview of Katya about her postcompetitive life https://matchtv.ru/figure-skating/m...je_intervju_Jekateriny_Borisovoj_dla_Match_TV
Thank you Gordana for the interview link. I found it very informative & enjoyable. I’m always amazed at how mature and wise beyond their years the Russian skaters appear. It’s all very well considered and thought true. It’s good to see that she is enjoying life and seems to be well paid for her work. I always worry for these junior skaters that give up a lot of their life for success in sports that is far from guaranteed. Good to hear that her health worries are behind her. I just went on to her Instagram account and she has tonnes of photos from the Caribbean, it looks great.
I really enjoyed this couple, strong and powerful skating but, as with most Perm couples, there was issues with the SBS jumps. One of my favourite routines is their ‘Ninja’ short. I thought one of the factors in their split was that he wanted to skate with girlfriend, Poulianova. He is also skating on cruise ships at the moment, maybe on the same ship?
