Mukhortova-Trankov

Girls, just now my sister told me that they left the Velikovs for Moskvina... Does anyone know anything about it? And does it mean that Obertas left sport?..

Yes, Elv, Masha and Max have changed their coach and now they are training with Tamara Nikolaevna! Me and Lana think it was a good choise, 'cause Moskvina is a great specialist in pair skating. We are sure that she will help Masha and Max to improve!!!
As for Obertas/Slavnov.. as far as I know.. they are still together, too! we will see

Dears,

I have seen Maria and Maxim this last worlds!!!

I thought that Maxim seemed much more determined than Maria!!

she Looked a bit shy and a little frightned!! Perhaps she was nervous!!!

I wish them all the luck in the world!!!!

Another Maxim OMG! If we go to the ice rink in the next Worlds, for example, and we call "Maxiiim" at least 5-6 men will turn haha I'm confused yet with so many Maxims ...


Hugs!

I really hope they'll improve... As for Max's determination, he really seems to be much more confident. Always. And in that interview I'm translating now Max talks much more than Masha.
Girls, we can call ourselves "Maxims fan-club" Lerka, you know another Maxim whom I like very much too

I guess that MAXIM, must be a verrrrrrry popular name in Russia!!

I think itºs a very beautiful name!

Ohhh Maria and Max!!! I love them! hehe. anywho...

As Lerka said, I think switching to Tamara Moskvina is a very good idea! I really hope that she will be able to help them to improve. They have so much potential and they are sooo cute!

As for Julia and Sergei... I do like them, but I haven't seen their performances improving recently. I saw them in practices quite a few times at Worlds. And they just didn't seem to have much confidence... And Julia was having huge amounts of difficulty with her jumps.

I like Maria and Maxim too!
They changed their coach, so perhaps they will improve!
I hope tho see them for quite a long time next seasons!

Maxim...,this Maxim, has got lovely eyes!

I like this pair too!

And its true, Maxim...this one has really got lovely eyes!´

YES, I DO!!!!! Well, if I'm not wrong there is Maxim Bolotin!!! But I think he doesn't compete now, maybe you know better than me . I don't know what happens to him. And I think he was coached by Alexei Gorshkov too! Is that a condition to be coached by him, I mean your name must be Maxim???

well, yes, before to take the skater in his group Gorshkov askes his name and if it is Maxim, Gorshkov allows him to train!!
Maxim Bolotin is ex-partner of Oksana Domnina. They skated together in 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 seasons and their best result was their 7th at the Junior WC in Norway

Wowwwwww!

Thanks for this list of Maxims !!!

SOOOOOO MANY!!!!!

i'm sure this is the criteria he is using when deciding to train or not somebody...
"Maxim, get on the ice...now you Maxim. It's your turn Maxim. Nooo, not you, the other one. Yes, you, you...Maxim don't pretend you didn't understood I was talking to you...ok, ready?...Maxims skate!"

Poor Gorshkov
Luckily, Azroyan's name is not Maxim! It will be too much for him!

hehe We developed the idea of Maxims and Gorshkov together with Leisan. But we discussed "Nastyas and Gorshkov" wider

Oh my God... I think you're really right.

Well, this explains why Romaniuta and Barentsev didn't work... Natalia and Daniil, I'm surprised Gorshkov agreed to coach them in the first place.
