Nikolai Morozov

Okay. What is up with the man lately? Who dates loads of his own students DURING their competitive careers? And even though skaters switch coaches all the time, I've never seen people leave other skaters like skaters seem to be leave him! For example, Javier Fernandez, Kovtun, Miki, Elene Gedevanshvili, Adam Rippon, Nobu, and Valentina Marchei - and so many of them leave on such bad terms!

The latest one to leave him is Florent Amodio, of all people.

Amodio on Morosov: "It's a divorce. I'll always have enormous respect for Nikolai but this can't go on."

What is "this?" I have a feeling that the answer is in the article that I can't understand - could somebody that speaks French please translate? Thank you in advance!!

basically he said that at first the plan was to join Morozov team in NY but then it turned out to be in Los Angeles. He stayed there 3 days and found out it wasnt for him anymore.

Gosh! I hope Dai leaves Morozov too. I think Florent will be better off without Nikolai.

There is a skating God afterall.    This was long overdue. Now Ilinykh/Katsalapov please come to your senses and follow Amodio! The same goes for Dai, though with him, Morozov is only "an adviser", however even this is too much.

Actually Adam had the same problem, he/or his mother was fed up with constant travelling around the Globe, just so he was able to work with Kolya, and even then Kolya didn't gave him much training time.
I'm surprised though, that it took Amodio this long to do this and that he's done it 7 freaking months before Sochi.

I wonder who his coach is going to be.
