According to , the Russian pair of figure skaters Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin practicing ice dancing, want to continue their cooperation with coach Igor Shpilband.
Earlier, reported that during the offseason, the skaters and Shpilband, with whom Davis and Smolkin have been training for several years, had contradictions, after which the parties stopped cooperating. To resolve the situation in the United States, Davis’s mother, Eteri Tutberidze, flew away, but the problem with the coach could not be definitively resolved.
The couple tried with a number of specialists, but failed to cooperate fully. Currently, Davis and Smolkin train at the rink with Alexei Kilyakov in Virginia, but at the moment for the skaters themselves this option is rather temporary. According to , the couple wants to continue working with Shpilband, but at the moment the specialist does not agree to resume cooperation.
Earlier, US blog The Skating Lessons reported that Davis and Smolkin will be reviewed by the US Figure Skating Federation on Thursday for a possible transition.
