Journalist and writer Nikolai Dolgopolov told that figure skating coach Natalya Linichuk could be of great help to national figure skating if she stayed in Russia.
Earlier, Rossiyskaya Gazeta published Dolgopolov’s material about Linichuk’s return to Russia. The coach has lived in the United States since the 1990s.
– I consider Natalia Linichuk’s decision to return to be final and irrevocable. Exactly. Natalya Vladimirovna is a very creative and expressive person. It always contains an inner zest, with which it has pleased us for a very long time. Me – from 1979 to 1980. So his appearance on the podium at the most important competition of this season, in addition to the Russian championship, inspires me a lot.
If she stays here, she can be of great use. She has such a powerful creative energy! If you visit her classes, you can see that she hasn’t lost it at all since 1979, when she skated with Gennady Karponosov. Natalia is a very helpful and strong person. I think it will bring a lot of benefits to national figure skating,” Dolgopolov told .
Linichuk is the 1980 Olympic ice dance champion, paired with Gennady Karponosov. At different times, Linichuk and Karponosov were formed by such duos as Oksana Grischuk/Evgeny Platov, Anzhelika Krylova/Oleg Ovsyannikov, Anzhelika Krylova/Vladimir Fedorov, Irina Lobacheva/Ilya Averbukh, Marina Anisina/Ilya Averbukh, Tatyana Navka/Roman Kostomarov , Albena Denkova / Maxim Stavisky and many others.
