What about Ludmila Nelidina? She was a great jumper, but lacked greatly in artistry.

Welcome to Golden Skate, Flutterby (great name, LOL!)
Nelidina was reported to have had some sort of nervous breakdown and retired from competition. I saw her do a triple Axel at Skate America in 2002, but I haven't heard anything more about her since.

Regarding Lavrenchuk (who I miss, along with Malinina and Lautowa), I once found something not too long ago on the internet that seem to indicate that she was coaching or something like that; not sure if it was in Ukraine or not.
As for Nelidina, I remember that a poster on FSU reported that the Russian media was saying that she suffered a nervous breakdown after the 2003 Worlds. The story goes that, with her triple Axel, her coach convinced her that she would be the next big thing in women's figure skating. When that failed to happen that year, she had the breakdown - which is why she withdrew from 2003 Skate America in Reading. Finaly, after coming in last or next to last at 2003 Cup of Russia, she left the sport for good. I think around the same time Stanislav Timchenko did, as well, coincidentally. As I said, that's what I heard.

Apparently as of 1 Oct 2005 Canada's silver medalists junior ice dancers Hann-McCurdy and Coreno moved to Vancouver, B.C. and are Victor Kraatz's very first dance team. I certainly wish them the best of luck. Can't wait to see them at Nationals in Ottawa.

I posted on this in the Nationals folder - Naomi and Themi did qualify for Nats. I hope they do well enough to have their programs televised. I would love to see Naomi skate again.

Don't know what happened with brother Colin.
About Olga Markova – she is also working as a coach at Moskvitch (Kudriavtsev’s rink), one of her little girls seems to be very talented.
Vjacheslav Zagarodnjuk – he coached Vitalij Danilchenko in 04/05.
Vika Volchkova – she had knee surgery in September 05 and is probably still recovering from it (since she she is no longer listed for CoR).
Anyone knows what Natalja Lebedeva and Alexander Fadejew are up these days? :think:

IFS had a nice story on Fadeev a couple of years ago. He married a former British figure skater and if I recall correctly, both were coaching in US.

Remember Tiffany Chin?
Did she ever resolve her muscular imbalance issue - does anyone know? I never really received an understanding of just what a "muscular imbalance" suggested....
Whatever it was, it seemed very disturbing to Tiffany and to her career.

I don't know if she ever "resolved" the imbalance or not, but she did go pro following a 4th place showing at the 87 Nats, competed in World Pro a couple of times, did OK. Then she popped up a few years ago as the coach of Bebe Liang, but she recently had a baby and I don't believe is currently coaching.
This might not be a big mystery to some of you more knowledgable types, but I've often wondered whatever happened to Linda Fratiane and Debbie Thomas. (What can I say -- I always rooted for the underdogs!)
Also, I haven't seen Rory much anymore either...
Any good scoops appreiciated!

WHat have JOanne Conway and Karen Preston been up to these days?
Tonia Kwiatkowski got married and still lives and coaches in the Cleveland area at the Winterhurst FSC. I presume she still coaches with Carol Heiss Jenkins, who is Miki Ando's current coach. Also listed at the club site is Caryn Kadavy. I know she also got married but I don't know offhand where she's living or if she's at Winterhurst fulltime.
