“Boikova and Kozlovsky turned to outstanding coaches and changed for the better” – Tarasova

Russian figure skaters Alexandra Boykova And Dmitri Kozlovsky who won the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow in pairs competitions, went to outstanding coaches and changed for the better, Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova told .

On Sunday, Boykova and Kozlovsky won the Grand Prix stage in Moscow, scoring 235.78 points on two skates. Natalya Khabibullina/Ilya Knyazhuk (220.32) took second place, Yulia Artemyeva/Alexey Bryukhanov (212.58) took third place.

Boykova and Kozlovsky left Tamara Moskvina to join Eteri Tutberidze’s group in May.

— Boykova and Kozlovsky have changed for the better. I like the way they skate now. They look beautiful. Their style has become softer. It’s interesting to see how they work on themselves. I see him. I see where this is going. It is known that their skating style is the strongest and most powerful, but many lyrical pieces have appeared. They are now more of a couple!

— Many people were skeptical about their transition from Tamara Nikolaevna to Tutberidze’s group. Was the change in coaching staff and environment beneficial to them?

“It’s very hard when people leave you.” Thank God they didn’t leave me like that. But Boykova and Kozlovsky turned to outstanding young coaches. It seems to me that the guys are capable of doing what they set out to do,” Tarasova told .
