Pinchuk and Pogorielov: 'We miss Kharkiv'

Editor’s note: On February 24, 2022, approximately 150,000 of Russia’s “peace-keeping” troops and tanks spilled over the borders of Ukraine, violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country in […]

“It was volleys, explosions, and pain,” said Pogorielov. “It was awful! Words are superfluous here. When people come to you to take away your home, to destroy the nation and say to you, ‘we save you’… this is not the behavior of a healthy person. It is not even animalism. There are no words to describe this madness.”

They are training in Vienna and are hoping to get two JGP assignments. Nazarova and Nikitin choreographed their two new programs for the season as their regular choreographer (Larisa Fiodorova) cannot leave Kharkiv.

The more I learn about these young Ukrainian athletes, the more impressed I am by their resilience and their dedication.

“The big test was leaving Kharkiv,” he said. “After spending a week in a bomb shelter, under constant shelling, it was scary to go outside. But after our square was blown up, we could no longer stay; we had to go further from the front. The picture was on the horizon…it was horrible. Through the streets of our hometown stood tanks, our heroes (defenders) and lined up enemy equipment.”

I hope they get their assignments and I will be rooting for them.

I've been rewatching the dance events from the JGP this last season (had to isolate at home for a week and a half and had to fill the time somehow!) and was really impressed with these two. I hate what they're having to go through and am rooting for them on and off the ice.

I am looking forward to cheering for them on the JGP.

Their resilience is amazing. So is their posture.
