He did pretty good at his 1st Challenger event, Minsk-Arena Ice Star. He was 5th.

omg so cute!!!!

Makar is one the subs in JGP Slovakia, so, it seems he will stay in juniors.

This season will be his last junior eligible season.

This season will be his last junior eligible season.

Really like him. I hope he stops dying in the second half of the FS (what is it with Rukavicin's guys and stamina? They need a proper physical conditioning coach) and manages to get to Junior Nationals and/or obtain a high enough SB for GP spots. We need more Russian men with actual PCS. But I am worried that he is growing too tall for men's skating.

Has he had a growth spurt recently? And yeah, I agree with the dying

Makar is still on the sub list for JGP Slovakia but he is not on any of the other three JGP list and he didn't skate at the test skate event. I wonder if he is injured or if he has decided to move to seniors.

well..... His coach didn't say anything about makar , so how can we know? he already choose JGP, so not to go to SGP. he just can manage JGP and challenger series as senior. Also, I don't know he will participate in saint-petersburg test skate 24~25 August.

 

[The Finn]

Sadly he missed JGP season but at least he is fine now because he is on the entry list of Tallinn Trophy.

Makar Ignatov: "Like when after training think that today you - well done"

This conversation took place at us with Makar Ignatov in early September, just in time for the control of rentals Russian team in Moscow. Unfortunately, Makar himself returned to the competition only a few days ago at a tournament in Tallinn. Why it happened, what plans the skater has, and what he enjoys in his free time, read our interview
