From the words of the Russian figure skater, who turns twenty-four years in November, shows how difficult it is even for a'' top athlete find the financial support to continue in business'' competitive with the'' objective is to remain at the top:
"For the entire month of March, while Morozov was busy with the preparation of Ilinykh / Katsalapov ahead of the World, I continued to train in Novogorsk in his group and everything worked better. Nevertheless, when Nikolai came back from Saitama I knew that would have left Russia to spend a long time in the United States and, moreover, that the Fed had cut the funds. For this reason, having no intention, however, to follow in North America could not think of staying in Novogorsk. With the end of the Olympics In fact, the financial support of the federation has become much lower and in the Moscow area, there are so many talented young people not having a place to be able to train I came home in St. Petersburg.'' The initial idea was to start to work full-time with Alla Piatova, but after talking with her and the manager'' s Figure Skating Academy in St. Petersburg, has come to the conclusion that'' there were suitable conditions for training to better . It circumstances have been in good relations with Alla, who has made available to help in any way possible. In the end I opted for the best choice for me and I decided to join the working group Evgeni Rukavitsin. "
Probably, on the side of the choreography announce news for Leonova, that is unlikely to still rely on Nikolai Morozov. '' It is likely that the vice-world champion of 2012 will rely on Olga Glinka, for years the creator of the programs of the athletes who train Rukavitsin.
