Why is there no option for English translation?Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov have teamed up, with Alisa switching from Germany to the USA: https://matchtv.ru/figure-skating/m...uristka_Alisa_Jefimova_budet_vystupat_za_SShA
Alisa has already received her release from the German Fed, but will be unable to compete internationally next season.
This will definitely be an interesting partnership. Efimova has lovely skills and elegance, as does Misha. Efimova has shown a weakness in jumping consistency, but I don't know whether to attribute that to tech issues, or simply to competition nerves. Once they get used to each other, I think the twists, throws, lifts and death spirals could be something to behold.
Why are they ineligible to skate this coming season? Is it because Misha hasn't competed in over a year, and it's a new partnership, with one partner having repped a different country last season? Is it that altho' Efimova was released, she still must wait an entire year before competing internationally?
