I just watched Andrei's Free Skate from Cup Of Russia from the year 2007. I thought he was an awesome skater, and then I kind of lost track of his competitions because of the networks last year. I was a little sad hearing that he was no longer competing, I was wanting to watch him again. However, I think he...

Oh... that's interesting. Where did you get this information from? I mean, I would put a bit of information like that up on the site, but currently I have no means for checking it. :)

It would be interesting to see Andrei become a coach.

According to Andrei, he's "done with sport" and at this time has no interest even in shows or tours. He is apparently assisting at the CSKA rink and studying coaching in the university.

I know he was injured a lot of time but I'm disapointed a little bit... i'd like to see him some international events. so i also wish him all the best and i hope we will see him some great shows in live.

A journalist friend asked Tatjana about it and she said that the information came directly from Vodorezova.
It's true, I'm afraid.

Yes, that is what was printed in a German skating magazine, and I was trying to get clarification if it is true. He was in Novogorsk, which seemed to contradict it, but maybe he was there for a show or vacation instead. If it's true, he'll be sadly missed competitively, but I hope we get the chance to watch him blossom in show skating.

I have not yet checked anythyng, but there is a word that, according to Tatiana Flade, Andrei has quit competitive skating and is going to continue skating in shows.

How about thoughts on music?? I would love to see him do something to blues, maybe in the short program. He did well with the Harlem Nocturne exhibition number, it would be nice to see more like that.

I do hope so, Kasey.

Well....Cup of Russia is still a remote possibility (and maybe more of one, depending on what Plushenko really ends up doing). But there is the Russia Cup series, and some "B" competitions maybe. Hopefully he'll get the chance to tune up a bit before Nationals and will just really be able to put it all out there when it counts!

Thanks for the info, Kasey. I hope he is trainging there and we can see him some international events in this season.

It's a training camp, like usual. I still would like to know what he's doing there exactly, 'cause there's a bad news: Andrei is not on the provisional national team list. That means chances are he won't get Cup of Russia, although there's one TBA spot. Of course, things can change, but I don't actually remember changes to the team list being made mid-season.

Andrei is supposedly training in Novogorsk right now. I don't know if it is an organized training camp or he is there individually working (I seem to recall some summer training in different cities in the past). No news on what music or programs are that I have seen, but I hope very much he is fully recovered from the injury last season and is really able to fight for Olympic life this year!
