Kavaguti/Smirnov to miss 2012 European Figure Skating Championships
Russian skating pair Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov will miss the 2012 European Figure Skating Championships (January 25-29, Sheffield, Great Britain) due to Smirnov’s recovery from the appendix removal.
«Smirnov was released from hospital several days ago, but hasn’t resumed his training yet. He is recovering slower than we planned. Thus we’ve decided to refrain from participating in the 2012 European Championships,» Tamara Moskvina, the coach of the pair, said as quoted by RIA Novosti.
