Heavens, why? I'm afraid that even if they'll go to CoC and NHK Trophy, they won't be able to skate 100%.... And the CoC field is actually quite okay for them to get the ranking points.

I read that fortunately for Max, his tendons and nerves were not cut, but he can't train yet. There were very poor conditions at ice rink and they fell during training their FD StSq. There was danger, Natalia would cut off Max fingers, but she turned herself in time. I'm not sure they will be ready for CoC....

I hope they are not going to take risk and go if he is not recovered in full. It's not worth it

I'm relieved to learn that. It could have been worse... I don't know how long it will take to heal but I hope they don't rush it!

I hope Maksym is feeling much better now and that the injury does not bother him too much.

Good luck in Beijing!

A quote from a new article:

(Google translate)
- After Sunday's rest, the next three days, spent a train at Beijing, during which we tried to correct all the mistakes we made in training and during take-off in China - says Sylwia Nowak - Trębacka, trainer couple.

- Max's fingers almost healed but still lacks full recovery of his left hand. Despite this, Japan would like to present two flawless programs and kidnap crazy to the point of skating, the Japanese audience to dance. And if we could at this point to improve our results, it already will be for us a great reward for the hard work and almost unmixed blessing - adds Natalia Kaliszek.

I'm glad to learn his fingers are almost healed

Natalia & Maks are happy with their GP results and that their dances are recognizable for fans: https://www.facebook.com/KaliszekSpodyriev/posts/964513613654470 They also got feedback and are going to use it for second half of the season (I certainly hope so!)

Natalia & Maks has won Mentor Cup with an awesome score of 168.76!

SD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC6yOl8n0NE 69.30
FD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6k0sDm_CFA 99.46

Gala EX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDrISWqfTGI

Regardless if the scoring was inflated or not, both their dances seemed really improved since NHK Trophy and 4 Nationals Champs! :yay: I hope it means they will have their SB and PB at Europeans

ETA: I didn't know there was prize money. They have won 1600 Euro, that is something! (ok, it will be tax deducted, but so was their prize from Cup of china) Now I understand why there usually are some good competitiors every year (+ the prize is actually higher for Pairs and Ice Dance teams, which is nice)
