MOSCOW, Jan 25, Boris Khodorovsky. Coach Alexei Mishin said he didn't can find words due to the fact that figure skater Mikhail Kolyada will not be able to compete at the Beijing Olympics. Earlier it became known that Kolyada would miss the 2022 Olympics due to a positive test for COVID-19. Instead, Evgeny Semenenko joined the Russian national team. “The moment is very difficult, and it’s not obvious that you need to say something now,” Mishin said. “He caught the coronavirus at the most inopportune moment.” This season, Kolyada won the silver of the Russian championship, but withdrew from the pre-Olympic European Championships due to injury.
