“Kolyada looks natural as a coach. He will do well” – Alexander Enbert

Olympic silver medalist in team competitions Alexander Enbert told that Mikhail Kolyada will be successful as a coach in China.

Kolyada will teach at Beijing’s Pangqing Tongjian Academy, run by two-time world pairs skating champions China Pang Qing and Tong Jian.

— In my opinion, Mikhail has something to share. He worked with various specialists, passed through the school of Alexei Nikolaevich Mishin, this experience is priceless. The Chinese school is very lucky to have Misha, as he has excellent jumping technique. I think his knowledge will help many.

For Mikhail himself, it’s a great experience; he seems natural in the coaching role. I think he will do well,” Enbert told .

In 2023, Kolyada suspends his sports career. The 29-year-old is a 2018 World Championship bronze medalist in single skating and a 2018 Olympic silver medalist in team skating.
