“Kaganovskaya and Angelopol blew up the dance world, they were the only bright spot among our couples” – Averbukh

Vasilisa Kaganovskaya And Valery Angépol blew up the dance world of figure skating, they were the only bright spot among Russian couples, choreographer and Olympic medalist Ilya Averbukh told .

On Thursday, the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) announced that the dance duo had ceased to exist by mutual agreement. After that, Kaganovskaya said that it was the partner’s decision, and the reason for the collapse was the contract that Angelopol offered her to sign, according to which she had to take the partner “for full material support.”

– It’s a shame that this couple broke up. For the moment, it is really a loss for our figure skating. But the guys are young enough, they will still look for themselves. Vasilisa has great potential. I think she has a wide range of partners to partner with. She’s a very brilliant partner. I’m sure Vasilisa will prove herself in another pair. I don’t yet know Valéry’s future plans. But of course it’s a loss.

This is a bet couple who quickly burst into the elite and immediately gained a huge following, even the biggest currently in ice dancing. They really blew up the dance world. It’s very sad that now we can watch the championships without this talented young couple. I’m sad because I really love them. That was the only real positive. All the other couples we have are already quite old, and it’s hard to consider them long-term,” Averbukh told .

Kaganovskaya and Angelopol are the winners of the Russian Grand Prix final last season.
