Last year you couldn't watch skating for 5 min without her name being mentioned. This year I haven't even heard her name mentioned once--not even in reference to B&S. Did she go back to Russia? Any info....:??

She said she was going to retire post-B&S. i imagined she would stick around as long as B&S and I&Z needed her. But with neither team competing at the moment she probably has gone back to Russia and quit. Don't have any concrete information though.:)

I don't know the details of who/how much Moskvina is coaching, but I definitely saw her with the Japanese pairs team of Yuko Kawaguchi and Alexander Markuntsov at Skate America (they finished 5th).

I don't know if she's coaching anyone full time right now.
I know she still follows her skaters though. Like she went back to St.Petersburg a few months ago to coreograph K&D's program. Also she was seen in Lake Placid with B&S for SOI opening show.

According to a few interviews that came out after the Olympics, she should be spending more time in the US now. She wasn't that pleased with Russian federation and I can't really blame her for that. In one article about B&S it was mentioned she's paid only $40(!) per month by her Federation!
