It is very normal for Tarasova who hates Natalia Dubova and her students like Alexander Zhulin.Tarasova and Dubova had a great conflict in the past.Figure Skating World know this.Alper and Alisa was training with Zhulin who was the student of Natalia Dubova. Tarasova is too old fashion now and criticising by looking their CV paper infront her.How can we expect that she is acting with justice under this situation ?It is not fair to criticised any skater without knowing anything about them.All of them are training a lot and dedicating their life for trainings.Alisa and Alper fighted and promoted a lot and they will do their best with Pasquale & Anjelika.We will see this in future.
What did Tarasova say about them ?
I added more videos, a competitive history, and a couple article links to the OP.
May they skate well at Worlds!
