At the Russian Championships last season, the skater took 13th place. «For three years, we treated one injury to Arthur, after which another arose. We tried to put the situation in order, did not give up, but he always had something hurt. Constantly looking for doctors «, someone helped, someone did not, but all these three years he was never completely healthy. And lately we have been preparing not for the September rentals, but recovering. And today he came to us and confronted us with a fact: I want to change my life. Start it from scratch. I hope that I will recover in the new group. He said that he was leaving for Rukavitsyn. We wish him success, «said Buyanova.
