Earlier, Russia’s Honored Coach Alexander Zhuline told that the dance duo Shanaeva/Drozd had broken up.

“Unfortunately, it is the case, our duo has broken up. For my part, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the technical staff for these 5 years: Alexander Vyacheslavovich, Pyotr Vyacheslavovich, Sergei Georgievich and Dmitry Alexandrovich. I am sincerely grateful for all the knowledge and work that has been invested in me, and for each production that has come to life. We said goodbye very warmly to Alexander Vyacheslavovich and the whole team and continue to stay in touch, which I am very happy about. I also want to thank Elizabeth for our journey together. Lisa is a good dancer, I wish her success in her future sports career.

Now I train under the guidance of Ksenia Gennadievna Rumyantseva. I continue my career, I want to ride, grow and improve for many years. The decision about the partner has not yet been made,” Drozd told .

Shanaeva and Drozd are silver medalists at the Russian Championship and the final of the 2023 Russian Grand Prix. Last season, the couple took 4th place at the Russian Championship and became fifth at the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
