The figure skating coach Alexander Zhulin said that he aims to prepare a dance pair Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov for the Olympic Games in 2018 in South Korean Pyeongchang, a similar problem remains for six-time champions of Russia Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov.
Zhulin on April 22 announced about the beginning of his work with Sinitsina and Katsalapov. Since the formation in 2014, the couple trained with Marina Zueva in the American Canton. Before the start of the season-2016/17 skaters returned to Moscow, where they began to work with Oleg Volkov and Elena Tchaikovskaya.
Sinitsina and Katsalapov - a talented couple, but undisclosed
"I set myself the task of making Sinitsin and Katsalapov and Bobrov and Soloviev selected for the Olympic Games in Korea," Zhulin said over the phone. "But at least we must first get selected for the European Championship and show good skating there."
Katsalapov worked on a permanent basis with Zhulin since 2007, the coach put the skater in a pair with Angelina Kabysheva, and a year later Katsalapov again began to perform together with his former partner Elena Ilyin. Under the guidance of Zhulin Ilinov and Katsalapov became world champions among juniors in 2010. Later, the couple left Zhulin's group and went to Nikolai Morozov.
"Yes, the history of our relations with Katsalapov is dramatic, but I hope that she and Viktoria have drawn certain conclusions for themselves." With Nikita, we have normal relations, we talked with him, he understands that I need him, but that Was in the past, it's still there, I hope everything will be fine, "Zhulin said.
"Sinitsina / Katsalapov are a talented, capable pair, but undisclosed, I'll try to do something," added a specialist who believes that the figure of skaters needs a common denominator. "First, he is an Olympic champion (in team competitions and bronze medalist in the Games Sochi in ice dancing), but Vika added a lot in skating, I'll try to make them look emotionally right so that they match, they have a slightly different charisma, and my task is to unite all these components. "
Tchaikovsky will oversee the pair and beyond
The coach does not believe that the arrival of a new pair will cause confusion in the work of the group of the first pair of the country Bobrovoy / Solovyov. "Instead of the conflict I expect to see normal healthy competition, and let the strongest win." After all, Katya and Dima are six-time champions of Russia, sparring in the person of Vika and Nikita, they will get very good, "Zhulin assured.
The coach told that the cooperation with Tchaikovsky for Sinitsinoy / Katsalapov is not finished. "I had a conversation with Tchaikovsky, she will continue to supervise the couple, she is a very strong specialist, and any of her comments will only be a plus." She helped us very well in working with Bobrova / Solovyov, and with (2006 Olympic champions Tatyana )
Tchaikovsky herself also confirmed the fact of continuing work with the pair. "I will work with the couple together with Zhulin," she said. According to Zhulin, Oleg Volkov, who worked with the pair after her return from the US, will not cooperate with Sinitsina / Katsalapov.
