July 29, 20188 yr Carroll retiring from couching... It's like the end of an era. I wonder if Denis's tragic death influenced this decision, I heard they were quite close....

We were just waiting for an official statement. He isn't stopping fully either, he'll still be doing some work with Juniors.

July 30, 20188 yr No wonder Daria gave the flowers. They going go be seeing each other all the time.... but Tsareva???
July 30, 20188 yr Wow, I'd be really curious how that'd turn out. On one hand, Tsareva has...how many skaters? Only Anna P? That's better than 5 senior skaters who are all probably more established than Dasha. On the other hand, Anna must be one of the biggest examples of wasted talent of the last decade. Now it remains to be seen if Anna's mental issues are her own or also the result of her coaching...since there's only one sample point, it's really hard to say But I'd put my money on the latter. I heard somewhere that they used to stop Anna's runthroughs whenever she made a mistake, which is why she had a tendency to really fall apart after a mistake. But that was just a rumor, I think...

It's not mental issues (or maybe better to say it's not just mental issues). She had a back injury that they ignored for the longest time and now Anna can't train/compete without a doctor's supervision.

I don't want to blame the coach for everything but it's hard not to lay some blame here. Good luck to Daria
August 5, 20188 yr Author Wow. In major news, Kurakova has switched countries! She is going to be representing Poland from now on. https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/warmup/1901225.html This is pretty huge. She's a great overall skater and with this, she has guaranteed herself a spot to ... everywhere. Wow.
August 5, 20188 yr What? A girl that can possibly land 4S3T and is actually really good skater is gonna represent my country? Didn't think something like this will happen in my lifetime
