Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei whitianga - I whakauruhia a Alexei Yagudin ki te takahi i te wha o ona tau e tana whaea, a Zoya, i kite i te mahi hei huarahi hei whakapai ake i tona hauora. I ako ia i ana peke takirua katoa i mua i te tekau o ona tau, i nga peke takitoru e rima i mua i te tekau ma rua o ona tau, i te peke takitoru Axel i mua i te tekau ma toru o ona tau. Ko tana kaiako tuatahi ko Alexander Mayorov, ana ka whakauruhia ia ki te kaiako rongonui o Ruhia a Alexei Mishin i te wa i neke atu ai a Mayorov ki Sweden i te tau 1992. I whakangungu a Yagudin i te roopu o Mishin mai i te 1992 ki te 1998. I tīmata ia ki te whakataetae i te taumata o te ao i te tau 1994, a, i riro i a ia te 1996 World Junior Championships
He aha? Ko te whakataetae rongonui me te hoa Rūhia, a Evgeni Plushenko, i tiimata i a raatau e whakangungu ana i te roopu o Mishin, ana ka kaha ake i muri i te wehenga o Yagudin.
