The ventitrenne Moscow, however, has added that on Sunday start to Milan, where should try to skate together with an Italian dancer. Once the audition, Riazanova should go back to Russia to make known future projects.
Analyzing the situation, all the evidence suggests that this may be the blue skater Andrea Vaturi twenty-five, having been separated recently from the historic companion on the ice Lorenza Alessandrini.
If the tests are to be successful, it seems likely that the couple may decide to defend the Italian colors. Moreover, in principle, there would be the possibility to participate in the European Championships in Stockholm between 26 January and the first day of February 2015. Indeed, the'' last international competition which took part Riazanova has ended January 16, 2014. Accordingly, and given that he admitted between January 17 and January 25, 2015 in this calendar is an international race to get the minimum technical score would not be precluded from participation in the main continental event. In this regard, it is should be noted that the'' Italy, by virtue the results obtained in Budapest by Cappellini / Lanotte and Guignard / Fabbri, will deploy three couples.
Meanwhile, it is rumored ever more insistence that the twenty-seven Ilya Tkachenko can skate alongside the U.S. twenty-two fresh passport Lithuanian Isabella Tobias. The couple should be coached by Igor Shpilband, but it is not clear which nation may decide to compete. At the moment, the best option'' it seems likely that Lithuania as it does not preclude the participation in the European (same situation Riazanova / Vaturi). In case, however, the choice of the United States or Russia fell within the couple would become eligible to take part in international events since February 18.
The most will recall that at the end of 2008, Tobias, daughter of a wealthy American entrepreneur, and Tkachenko had made several auditions and appeared headed towards a career in pairs. However, after a few months the Russian skater made the decision to compete alongside the more listed compatriot Riazanova.
Obviously, the fact that Isabella Tobias is on the market is be linked to a break with the previous partner Deividas Stagniunas. At the moment, however, is not not known whether the almost twenty-nine Lithuania has decided to retire from competitive racing.
