Yulia Lipnitskaya

:slink: Its like the telephone game was being play in here....he said she said. Its a little bit surprising since it was just one bad season, but if it was Yulia's choice, then I wish her all the best. I just hope there wasn't any pressure from the outside.

I wouldn't judge Eteri based on a few clips in the K&C. Those just do not tell the whole story. Far from it. I think the decision should rest with Yulia herself, rather than fans with 1% of the facts.

Personally, the only concrete problem I see (one not based on speculation/extrapolations from facial expressions) is that Eteri has a lot of students. Perhaps Yulia needs someone who dedicates more time to her. But who knows what the real problem is, and whether Yulia needs more time, or needs something else...

But whatever the case, one bad season is not an automatic reason to leave a coach. See: Liza.

Built a team after Sochi?! And "left Julia out in the cold"? WHAT?

All these "coach" posts remind me of soccer clubs: "we lost one match. SACK THE MANAGER"

What is this whole "Let's blame Eteri!!" thing?!

From what is available to us Eteri does not neglect any of her students.
But if she does it is definitely NOT Yulia!
She "neglected" both of her star Juniors, accompanied none of them to their GP to stay in Moscow with Yulia (with whom she went to every single competition btw.)
When she felt like Yulia was about to be treated unfairly prior to Russian Nationals she willingly put herself in an unfortunate position inside Russia and risked a sharp tongue to defend... Yulia!
She offered to change the R&J programm when she saw that it was not working but Yulia insisted on keeping it.
Instead of blaming Yulia for failing, like other Russian coaches blamed their students this season, she kept defending and explaining her.

We all have no idea what happened to Yulia this season but everything from "Physical exhaustion", "Lack of competitive desire", "Media Pressure", "Boot Problems", "School stress" and "Too little preparation time" makes more sense to me than
"It's the coach' s fault!!"

I fully agree, with all of you.
I'm a fan of Yulia and I will support her no matter what, always. Maybe a change is needed, and if she wants to change the coach/club, that's fine. But to try to put the blame on Eteri entirly is disgraceful, IMO.

That's what I think and that's what made me so angry at first.
I prefer to wait and see now, but I can't help feeling a wee bit disappointed
 
Yulia's group reacted
Проясняем ситуацию: в данный момент Юля отдыхает после чемпионата России. Слухи об уходе от ее нынешнего тренера она не подтверждает. Пожалуйста, давайте положим конец различным сплетням и домыслам и дадим Юле спокойно отдохнуть, в том числе от пристального внимания, и набраться сил к новым стартам. Вся новая информация будет, как и всегда, оперативно появляться на стене нашей группы.

Yulia's having a rest after the Russian Championship. She doesn't confirm any rumours of her leaving her coach. Let's put an end to all these speculations and gossip and let Yulia take a break from everything, including being in the centre of close attention, and recuperate for new competitions. We'll publish new information as soon as it appears.

Yes.

I am reminded of Nanami Abe who did a fine job of coaching Yuzuru Hanyu, and launching his career. But eventually, Hanyu needed to "move on"... and a couple of years later, he is at the very top of the sport.. while remaining on good terms with Abe.

IF Julia changes coaches, I can only hope it works out like Hanyu's "split" with Abe...

Clarify the situation: currently, Julia is resting after the national championship. Rumors about leaving her current coach, it is not confirmed. Please, let's put an end to the various rumors and speculation and give Julia relax, including attention, and gain strength for new starts. All new information will be, as always, to promptly appear on the wall of our group.

Is this the vk group?

Well, she doesn't confirm but she isn't denying also. Therefore, I'm afraid this is true. Oh well....


@YesWay: Exactly. Agreed. :agree:

Hey, but so far no one's confirming anything. So let's wait and see.
 
As I said not once..I hate the Russian sport journalism....It is like the tabloid journalism..Many lyings, fals informations, sometimes it seems as if they would want to harm own athletes .. The biggest stars can expect the most lies and gossips in the Russian media. Well Julia is among the biggest stars....
