Figure skating coach Pavel Slyusarenko called coach and choreographer Nikolai Morozov an outstanding director.

Morozov, in particular, choreographed the short program “Winter” and the free program “The Man in the Iron Mask” for Alexei Yagudin, with whom he won the 2002 Olympics.

— There was Nikolai Morozov, whom I consider to be an absolutely remarkable director. I learned a lot from him. And after all, all these specialists, including Sergei Plishkin (director of Slyusarenko’s group), are different. It was important for Nikolai to adapt to the athlete as much as possible. He designed the program to be, above all, practical. Sergei, on the contrary, likes to “bend” skaters to his vision. At first this creates certain problems, but after a while people begin to cope with the task, ”quotes RT Slyusarenko.
