“Valeriy absolutely doesn’t want to skate, convincing him otherwise was completely impossible, although he had no significant reasons for all of this.” Anjelika Krylova on Kaganovskaia/Angelopol split up
Anjelika Krylova about Valeriy Angelopol – he “absolutely does not want to skate.”

Angelopol is the winner of the Russian Grand Prix final in ice dancing. He performed with Vasilisa Kaganovskaia, but their duo has split up.
“It was Valeriy’s initiative, I was absolutely against it, and so was Vasilisa. Today there were representatives of our federation at our rink, and we discussed all of this. Valeriy absolutely does not want to skate, convincing him otherwise turned out to be completely impossible, although he had no significant reasons for all of this, they were excellently prepared for the season, and I have reason to think that it could have been successful for them.
At a certain point, Valeriy started saying that he was ready to skate with Vasilisa on the condition of a signed contract specifying certain financial terms. This was completely unacceptable, and of course, she did not want to sign anything.
We will look for a partner for Vasilisa; she remains in my group. On the one hand, I am very upset, on the other hand, I am even glad that this happened right now.
The conflict situation was created out of nothing, it was impossible to talk. Today everyone understood that.
We have had similar situations before, but we managed to save and reconcile them. But if a person doesn’t want to, then he doesn’t want to. Vasilisa stays with us in the group; I will support her, and I wish Valeriy good luck, I wish him to follow his ambitions, achieve success, but still decide for himself what is more important to him – sports or something else,” said Krylova

Dear Mrs. Krylova
We all are astonished by these bad news.
I think that you should not stop supporting Valery. Crisis are in every relationship, no matter if it is in professional or personal ways.
This couple is, what technics and knowledge means, same as other iceskate dancers. But what they have, is not something you can learn. It is this truly respect, love, affection and care which are reflecting in their performances. It is just naturally there and will be still there. Give Valery some time to reflect and he will see himself, where his place is.
They are so young and at the moment both hurt and disappointed. They are both growing from children to young people wright now, which is sometimes not very easy. Please support both of them. Then things will come to a positive success. If not you, who have so much time spent with them, who else could support these two? The contract, its not Valery’s fault. There must be somebody behind him, who told him this.
The match with Polina is just a matter of time, that Valery will realize, that it is not feeling the same as with Vasilia.
And Vasilia should not turn the page on him, they have still so much affection. Just let time work it out. Most of us feel very positiv for the two of them and are convinced, that with a close support, they will find together again.
All the best for the three of you. Silvia
