“We parted on good terms, Ilya did not want to leave us” – Academy coach Plushenko about Mironov’s departure

Coach of the Academy “Plushenko Angels” Arina Ushakova told that the skater Ilya Mironov I did not want to leave the school of Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko.

Mironov studied at the Plushenko Academy of Angels. Today the athlete, together with Yasmina Kadyrova, trains in St. Petersburg under the guidance of Tamara Moskvina.

“Ilyusha really left us.” We parted on good terms; he didn’t want to leave our club or me as his personal trainer. But we couldn’t find him a partner. Kadyrova appeared in St. Petersburg and I personally sent her. He’s a very talented athlete, a good kid, I want him to succeed.

“He probably met someone without a partner.”

– Yes, he skated with a girl to stay in shape, with no prospects. They didn’t even play or plan anywhere. The problem is that there may be good girls, but they are young. There’s no point in getting into a relationship. But there are no ready-made adult girls, even if you take them from simple skating – some don’t want them, others are too tall. Lots of nuances.

– It seems that there is no better option than Yasmina.

– Actually, yes, I hope everything works out for them. Yasmina is suitable in age, height, weight and is a good skater. I keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well for them,” Ushakova told .

Mironov and Diana Mukhametzyanova became silver medalists at the Youth Olympic Games. Later, the skater also performed with Ekaterina Geinisch and Taisiya Sobinina.
