Coach of the Khavronina/Narizhny duo: “We have not yet been able to show what Ira and David do in training in competition”

Maria Borovikova, duo dance coach Irina Khavronina /David Narizhny in an interview with , she said the skaters don’t yet have enough experience to perform together and want to see “more volume” from the pair.

Khavronina and Narizhny teamed up last winter in the group of Denis Samokhin and Borovikova. In their first season, the skaters became winners of two stages of the Russian Grand Prix, and also won bronze at the Russian Championship and the Spartakiad of the Strongest.

— We are very satisfied with the results and the work of our entire team. Ira and David now occupy a stable third position in the Russian national team. This is, I think, a very big achievement for a couple who have only been together for a year. Only the national champions are ahead of us. We feel how quickly the guys are evolving, their potential. At each start, this was noticed not only in points, but also in skating and progress.

True, we haven’t yet been able to show what Ira and David do in training. There is not enough common experience to perform such relaxed, free and high-speed programs as in training. But we will strive to achieve this and improve not only their technical abilities, but also this freedom of skating. They transmit their images internally very well, but we coaches want to see more volume,” Borovikova told .
