Former world junior figure skating champion Marin Honda will relocate to the United States this spring to train under U.S.-based Armenian coach Rafael Arutyunyan, an official source said Friday. Honda, 16, who won the 2016 world junior championship and took silver a year later, debuted in senior competition this season, finishing seventh at the Japan Figure Skating Championships in December. She previously trained under Mie Hamada, who coached Satoko Miyahara to a fourth-place finish at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in February and bronze at the world championships earlier this month. Arutyunyan, who coached Vancouver Games silver medalist Mao Asada from 2006 to 2008, counts 2018 world champion Nathan Chen and three-time U.S. national champion Ashley Wagner among his current students.

Changing the environment to level up towards four years later. After the all-Japan championship in December which ended in 7th place, "I wish to keep in mind what I could not do today because the dream at skating is the Olympic Games", I was watching the future with tears. Altunian immigrated from Moscow to the United States in 2000. For about two seasons from 2006, he was in charge of Maoto Asada. The reputation for teaching jumps, His student Nathan Chen succeeded in the world's first five quad jumps at the International Skating Federation Convention. For Honda, who has succeeded in smooth skating and acting expression, it is expected to acquire new skills.

On a recent afternoon early in what passes for the (brief) off-season in figure skating, odds and ends of clothing lay in the dressing stalls assigned to Team USA members Nathan Chen, Ashley Wagner, Adam Rippon and Mariah Bell. Michal Březina of the Czech Republic and Romain Ponsart of France have their fair share of personal belongings in the locker room as well, as do their coaches, Rafael Arutunian and Nadia Kanaeva. Which of those skaters will be using the stalls next season remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: there definitely will be some new ones. Japan's Marin Honda, 16, the 2016 world junior champion and a highly touted athlete who had a subpar 2018 season after a strong senior debut last fall, already has left Japan to begin training with Arutunian. She spent last week getting choreography done with Lori Nichol in Canada. Arutunian said he expects South Korea's Eunsoo Lim, 15, fifth at the 2018 World Junior Championships, to arrive by the end of April. He has also been in discussions with the Chinese Skating Association about their sending two young male singles skaters to train with him in preparation for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Some 12 years after taking on a young Japanese prodigy in Mao Asada, Armenian is doing it again with Marin Honda. Arutunian, who led Nathan Chen to the world title in March in Milan, Italy, was selected to try and prop up Honda after a lackluster senior debut season, which saw her miss out on the Pyeongchang Olympics. http://instagram.com/p/Ba4QXeXBR5t Ice Time spoke to the 60-year-old Arutunian by telephone on Monday in a wide-ranging interview in which he discussed Honda, Mao Asada, Chen and Evgenia Medvedeva. “There are a lot of big changes this offseason. It’s always like that after the Olympics,” Arutunian stated, when asked about how he came to coach Honda at his training base in Lakewood, California.
