Pairs
The other Soviet powerhouse, the Pairs discipline, doesn't fare quite as well. Two seasons ago, the future of Russian pair teams looked secure. Yulia Obertas and Sergei Slavnov won the silver at the 2005 European Championships and Maria Mukhortova and Maxim Trankov won the 2005 Junior Worlds title. The Olympic season, however, showed that the optimism was premature. Obertas and Slavnov slipped to 4th at Europeans, 8th at Olympics, and finally their career lowest - 8th at Worlds, despite the absence of several higher ranked teams. Mukhortova and Trankov finished an unspectacular 12th at their senior Worlds debut. Clearly, changes were in order and they were not long in coming.
Mukhortova and Trankov were the main news-makers of the summer. The team left their long-time coaches Ludmila and Nicolai Velikov and joined the Tamara Moskvina camp. At first they appeared inspired and encouraged by the change. In fact, things worked out so well that Moskvina's other team, Obertas and Slavnov, decided that they were getting the short end in the deal and left her for the Velikovs. It didn't last long. No sooner had Moskvina left Mukhortova and Trankov unsupervised, the team had a major quarrel and split. Eventually however, they resolved their differences, but it was too late: They lost the precious training time and the support of their coach. Moskvina allowed them to remain in her camp, but relegated them to her assistant Artur Dmitriev.
With Dmitriev spending most of the summer in Moscow while taking part in a celebrity skating TV show, Mukhortova and Trankov received very little coaching. They finished a disappointing 5th at Skate America and an even more disappointing 7th at Cup of Russia, where they were forced to interrupt their LP performance because Trankov pulled a hip muscle. Between the injury, personal issues, and problems with coaches, the season appeared to have come to an end for the former World Junior Champions. However, the Russian media reported in December that Mukhortova and Trankov started to work with Oleg Vasiliev. The National Championships will be the first test of this new collaboration. Too early perhaps to expect any drastic changes, but given the state of the field, a medal isn't out of their reach if they skate up to their potential.
Obertas and Slavnov fared only marginally better thus far this season. They began by capturing the bronze medal at Trophee Eric Bompard, due in part to a weak field rather than their own brilliance. However, their disastrous performances at NHK Trophy, where they failed to execute a single clean jump element, put an end to their hope of qualifying for the Grand Prix Final in their hometown. During a broadcast after their LP, o |
