PLSE’s Ekaterina Mayorskaya told IronMind® today, “Mikhail Koklyaev was gravely injured.”

“Consequently he will not be able to participate in all the planned events for about half a year.  I regret the necessity to cancel all his obligations for the rest of 2009,” Ms. Mayorskaya continued.

“It goes without saying that after Mikhail`s completely recovery he will be eager to resume his active participation in international tournaments,” said Ms.Mayorskaya.
