man just imagine victor’s future biography and how much it will look like nureyev’s biography and the petty academic fights over his idiosyncratic batshittery
“…it was then that a defeated katsuki, still unsure whether to continue pursuing a skating career, performed his interpretation of nikiforov’s free skate program, propelling him to viral fame and attracting the attention of nikiforov himself.
nikiforov has long maintained that his initial trip to hasetsu and offer to coach katsuki were motivated by nothing more than his admiration of that performance. however, a number of factors cast doubt on this claim, none more so than the fact that nikiforov and katsuki would soon enter into a highly controversial public relationship. skater christophe giacometti, the closest thing nikiforov had to a rival during the height of his career, greeted the news by holding a bizarre press conference, in which he claimed that he and nikiforov had had an “exceedingly satisfying” sexual relationship during the 2014-15 season, and that nikiforov was perhaps more driven by “dick than brain” when it came to katsuki. giacometti later partially retracted his statements, arguing that the sentiment was correct but the words ill-considered; notably, nikiforov never publicly refuted either of giacometti’s claims.”
