Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Georgian figure skater Maria Kazakova, originally from Moscow, commented on the upcoming move to Italy. She, along with her partner George Revia, decided to move to Italy.

Initially, Kazakova and Revia trained in Moscow with Denis Samokhin and Maria Borovikova. In Italy, Mateo Zanni will coach the athletes.

“We know Mateo well. He is still a young coach, but very promising and talented. We heard a lot about him as a coach and a person. We discussed the training conditions and realized that everyone love everything, obviously we will be comfortable together. Further relations with Denis Eduardovich and Maria Valerievna, we determined in detail: we will send them videos of trainings, consult, that is, we maintain a close relationship.

Feelings about the move are mixed. After all, we leave our usual way of life, our relatives and friends and our studies in Moscow. Everything shifts somehow. But in today’s environment, it’s the best option. We have a hunch the new page will bear fruit,” Match TV quotes the figure skater as saying.
