Figure skater Shaidorov: “Urmanov is a professional, an excellent coach, we have a good “connection”

Kazakh figure skater Mikhail Chaydorov told that he was happy to work under the leadership of Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov, with whom they communicate well.

Last week, Shaidorov became the first skater in history to perform the triple Axel + quadruple toe loop combination. According to the results of the ISU Grand Prix stage in Angers, France, he took fourth place.

— We have been working together with Alexey Evgenievich for six years, I used to come to his training camp. Now it’s like father and son with him. He, as head coach, does everything to make me better, we have a very good “connection”, we understand each other well, we communicate well, we find compromises, we move forward together, and I am happy that a such a professional and a wonderful trainer is next to me.

— What are your plans for the next step?

— I will prepare the next stage in Almaty, we will improve the artistic part, the technical part, so that the judges have no reason to give lower marks than those in Angers. I will work closely so that the result at the stadium in China is better than in France,” Shaidorov told .
