“I think Mark is a very talented and gifted athlete.
He is a real fighter.
I am glad that he will go to the Olympics.
Quite recently, I gave him a new demonstration dance, which he will now perform in the rank of champion of Russia.
Congratulations to him and his coach Sokolovskaya! "
- quotes Averbukh "Sport-Express".
According to the choreographer, Mark's first place was not unexpected for him.
The expert also believes that all Russian skaters are about the same level.
“Unfortunately, Misha Kolyada stands out for his instability, despite the fact that he is potentially the strongest skater in Russia at the moment.
He remains the leader of the national team, ”added Averbukh.
