Russian figure skaters Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin performing in ice dancing, could become an unusual pair under coach Igor Shpilband, Olympic diving champion Elena Vaytsekhovskaya has said.
Earlier, reported that one of the goals of coach Eteri Tutberidze’s visit to the United States was a desire to help his daughter Davis resolve the issue with the coach. The couple trained with Shpilband, but the parties had contradictions, as a result of which work with a specialist was suspended.
– Following the whole story of Davis and Smolkin, the saddest thing for me personally is the fact that the still Russian duo parted ways with the former coach. A group with Shpilband gave hope that the guys would become very outstanding dancers (regardless of the flag) capable of fighting for the highest places.
For this, unfortunately, one talent has never been enough in ice dancing. We needed a strong and necessarily influential coach. Here, in fact, lies the answer to the question why, with a sufficiently large number of good dance specialists, representatives of the same coaching schools are in sight, ”quotes RT Vaitsekhovskaya.
