Messenger - Vol. 4, No. 1, Page 1 1994 Polished pair Russian ice dancers Oksana Gritschuk and Evgeny Platov, winners of the 1994 Olympic Gold Medal and World Championships, have joined the star-studded family of skaters training at Delaware. Gritschuk, 22, and Platov, 27, came to the University's Ice Skating Science Development Center in September to train with their long-time coach Nataliza Linitchuk, who recently joined the UD coaching staff. Linitchuk and her husband, Grennadiy Karpanosov, both Olympic gold medalists and top-ranked coaches, brought other champion skaters with them as well, making the University the premier coaching center for ice dancing and figure skating.
