The figure skating world was shocked when famous ice dancers Vasilisa Kaganovskaya and Valeriy Angelopol broke up. They were well-known for their great performances and connection on the ice.
The decision to go their separate ways created a lot of talk in the figure skating community. This article looks into the details of their split, exploring the story of their talent, teamwork, and the eventual decision to go different ways.
Why Did Vasilisa and Valeriy Break Up?
On August 31, 2023, Vasilisa shared on Instagram that she and Valeriy won’t be performing together anymore. She said in the caption,
“Dear friends, as you have already seen, our couple no longer exists. It’s true, it’s not fake. And I want to tell you the truth. I have never washed dirty linen in public, but now I will not remain silent. It all started on July 4th: Valera told me that he didn’t want to ride with me. I know the reason very well; he told it to his friend and my mother. And she had nothing to do with figure skating.”
Vasilisa said Valeriy explained that he wasn’t happy with her training. But the two were able to put their differences aside and continue their training. Vasilisa felt everything was good, but a few days ago, Valeriy brought in a contract and said he wouldn’t continue the training until it was signed by September 1. At that point, Vasilisa’s perspective shifted.
Vasilisa terminated her five-year partnership with Valeriy because she was unhappy with the terms of the arrangement and felt it would be better for them to split ways. She thanked all of the followers for their unwavering support as she concluded the message.
