Mikhail Kolyada

His hand is still bandaged so I guess that has something to do with it. No, I don't think they would pull him for another reason. It's not really a serious competition.

You know after the shocking partner switching speculation in the Chinese pairs, the "forced" doesn't sound good.
However, I can't hide my excitement over the fact that Mika can compete in the event!
 
OMG I can't believe! Looking at the website - Michal & Mika seem to follow each other a lot this season!

Oh I have a mixed feelings about it! Mika must be exhausted after Worlds... Hopefully he will treat it as a fun competition.

I feel sorry for Maxim - I thought it was a good opportunity to finish the season on a better note than Worlds. Surely it could not be because of his hand. The statement he gave previously said that it was an undiagnosed at the time fracture but fully healed.
 
Was his previous visa single-entry? Don't know much about the American visa system.

most likely it was, to get american visa is not easy for Russian citizens generally and the last couple years next to impossible as far as I know

This is an off-topic, but your post reminds me of a popular Russian opera singer's acquisition of Austrian citizenship because she felt travelling around the world for her works with Russian citizenship was really hard. That was about 10 years ago, so the current situation would not be like that any more.

Doesn't look fully healed to me.

Definitely possible for those who, say, have relatives there, but it's not relevant here obviously.
There are probably special conditions in place for athletes, otherwise they all would have trouble travelling to the US for any competitions.
 
OMG, I love Team EUROPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I mean, I was so upset he had such low percentage of voting and now there's two of my favourites in one team! I hope both Mishas will slay! :devil: :hap10:
PS Of course not happy, that Kovtun is injured, but I wouldn't have though they would replace him with Misha instead of Alexei Bychenko.
 
I had a sudden job offer to teach intensively that I had be away for over a week... and I just saw the news :shocked:

I hope he's not too tired and wishing him the best of luck!! Hope he enjoys it. :hap10: (I still have a ton of work piled up on my desk so might not be around for few days more... but now I have to finish everything before TCC starts :noshake:)

Have you already head Mika is dating with Yulia Lipntitskaya? I'm so excited! She came to St. Petersburg after worlds to congratulate him. They walked a lot around the city together and were so cute as people mention! I am so happy for both of them!

How did they get connected emotionally? One is in St. Petersburg and the other one is in Sochi... :scratch2:

Sorry is it just a hearsay? I have some difficulty believing this, considering how 'popular' Yulia is with tabloids that would be all over...
 
I don't know, but they probably met each other on CoR and on Nationals, they had a lot of photos.
Yulia doesn't like to talk about her private life. There are not a lot of people who knew about her last boyfriend. And tabloids didn't mentioned it. But I have read a lot of people saw them walking together I will try to find some photos, I think they should be somewhere! And Yulia posted a lot of pictures about love in St. Petersburg ;)
BTW, some people think Mika and Yulia looks alike. What do you think about it?

It's just a rumour for now. It started when Yulia came to SPB to meet up with a few friends several days ago. Allegedly, she was also seen meeting up with Kolyada. The rumour started on ask.fm. But so far no photos of them together have surfaced. There are however photos of Yulia and Sima together in SPB.
 
Guys, sorry for long waiting of interview! It has to be just about results of this season, so, we can't publish it now :c
I also read a lot about Yulia. I will be happy if it's truth. Hope this is not just a gossip

Well, thanks for update :)

Yeah I think they can easily be mistaken for a brother and sister. Maybe that's what they are haha :laugh:

TBH I am more worried now about how Mika will 'survive' Spokane - it is not easy to travel to USA in such short space of time again and at such short notice. He mentioned that he's just started breaking in his new boots - this could be an ordeal in itself. But prize money can be handy too. Good luck Mika!
