From the start of the season, everyone has already missed the adrenaline rush. Each duo awaits decisions from the FFKKR (Russian Figure Skating Federation).

As for our participation in the Russian Grand Prix with Varya, it will perhaps be the stages of Moscow and Krasnoyarsk. There’s no final split by stages yet, but since this season dancers and households only have four stages instead of six (single skaters have all six), the choice is small, Varlamov said. at .

Kurnosenko and Varlamov are silver medalists of the Challenger Budapesht Trophy‑2021. The duo trains in Alexander Zhulin’s group, this season the skaters finally become masters.
