“We had always intended to refresh Vlad’s image, which is why we brought Mikhail Kolyada on board for the program development for the ‘Opening of Baikal’ tournament,” Tataurov explained. “The process of working with him will continue. Will he focus on choreography? Yes—he will work on choreography and glide,” TASS quoted Tataurov.

During the ‘Opening of Baikal’ tournament, Dikidzh performed a new program set to Ludovico Einaudi’s piece «Night,» with Kolyada as the choreographer. Unfortunately, Dikidzh made several errors in his elements, resulting in an eighth-place finish.
