Morozov's got a new student
The Russian figure skater Alena Leonova, who placed 4th(d?) at the World Championship 2011 in Moscow, has changed her coach. Nikolai Morozov has become Leonova's new mentor. Alla Pyatova had worked with the athlete before that:
"We have agreed that right after the season's end Alena would start to work with Nikolai Morozov and I would help as much as I can if my help would be needed.
The three of us have agreed on this without any intermediary. Before that talk I hadn't even known how our cooperation with Alena would progress, to be honest".

The figure skater Alena Leonova explained whu she decided to move from Alla Pyatova to Nikolai Morozov:
"I've always thought that his skaters were from another planet. Very original and very different from other figure skaters. I'll try for sure everything he'll offer to me to the limit. And then we'll see. I, myself, want to learn the way of skating that all of Morozov's students haveю
Because suddenly I got an uncontained urge to change everything in my life drastically. I've skated for more than ten years with Alla Pyatova, to her I owe all the skills I have. But I've started to think that if I wouldn't move I wouldn't learn anything new. And I've felt quiet clearly that the coach was tired of me".

Sorry for wonky translation.
BTW, I'm very excited for this partnership
