Unfortunately, now and then long flights interfere with athletes’ health. Coming back from America, Yana caught a light cold, and missed training days from November 19 through 23. The doctor advised not to increase the exercise load and reduce the risk of a recurrent disease. Just for this reason Yana and Sergei will not take part in the Final of ISU Grand Prix in Tokyo next week. Now it is more important for them to thoroughly prepare for Russian and European championships, eliminating unnecessary risks.

Nevertheless, these minor troubles hardly affected the team’s positive mood. Very soon Yana and Sergei will tell about the changes that were introduced in the training after initial competitions. Keep your eye on the news on our site.
