I understand his coach(es) stopped him competing in the last World
championships, though he was hardly missed then.
Vyacheslav Evstratov seems to be the coach that is behind his decision to
withdraw. Borzakovskiy was quoted a few weeks ago denying rumours he would
miss Edmonton.

Hasn't something like this happened with Borzakovskiy before?
Also, is he coached by a woman? The name of his coach is almost certainly
feminine, unless my Russian skills have totally left me, yet it refers to
the coach as "he."

However, coach Yekaterina Podkopayeva said that he would be talking to
Borzakovsky about his decision.
"Yuriy is giving a great present to his rivals, I can not understand why
he is running from the World Championships, " said Podkopayeva.
