Is there any chance to switch country now? Seriously...
Even with the embargo period being shortened to 12 months, switching countries now would rule her out of the Olympics.
Having a small chance of going to the Olympics with Russia is better than having no chance of going with somebody else.
But, after the Olympics are over, that is a different matter.
Although I am not enthusiastic about the whole idea of switching countries any more, I do believe this would be Liza's best option for making sure she gets going to the Majors on a regular basis.
And, can I just add, the offer in this post from way back in November 2013 (i.e. before the last Olympics) is still open:
So, what options are open to Artur and Liza?
Well, the only option that I can see open to them is leaving Mishin. But, even if they change coach, it doesn't guarantee that they will get into the team for Worlds (or Europeans) over the next few years, or into the team sent to the Pyeongchang Olympics.
And, as far as I know, there are no obvious alternative nationality options open to either of them.
However, there is one more option, but it's only open to Liza:
Marry me, and get British citizenship!
Then, when Jenna retires, you would be guaranteed the spot, as you would be in a totally different league to all the opposition!!!
And, if the British Federation is mad enough to turn you down, then you can try the Irish Federation (one of the perks of being from Northern Ireland is that I have dual nationality!)
Problem solved!

Still can't believe I was actually advocating her leaving Mishin!
And I still can't believe some of the things that sky_fly20 came out with! (See the post directly before the one I quoted)
