New interview Eteri Tutberidze:

"I don't see yet anybody who would work as Medvedeva"

Wow, that's actually good.... you can imagine Zagitova or any of her Juniors working as much as Medvedeva.... they'll easy overcome her. I mean, look at Trusova and Zagitova. They are already better than Medvedeva when it comes to tech part (and they don't work as much as Med, according to Eteri:biggrin:) Well, in the end, also the talent counts (and a lot). If you are less talented, you have to work harder.
 
Eteri's recent interview, translated to English: https://pastebin.com/raw/Veq4aWYA

TL;DR:
* To reach the top level you need permanent work from the youngest age. Coaching should be planned for 10 years ahead.
* It's easier to raise the bar by your own than trying to catch up with others.
* The technical evolution is far from over. In 3 years ladies' quads will become a routine.
* Once you get out of the habit of falling, it becomes difficult to learn new jumps. You must never stop learning new jumps.
* Falls are much safer physically and mentally for little kids.
* Russian boys are weak-willed because of lack of competition. They don't need to struggle to qualify.
* Eteri is an authoritarian coach on the rink, but a weak woman in everyday life.
 
Dang, now that the JGP is over, I can't get my fix of amazing Eteri talent... *sobs*

she's not the only one in the school, remember :) as far as i know, it's more like Dudakov is the one who is teaching them jump technique and other stuff like that. I would give him the credits :agree:

i suggest you to make a new thread in "Figure skating: The Edge" and paste this translation there, because i'm sure a lot of people love reading interviews like that, but they might not be visiting this forum section.

You know how that thread will be finished :laugh:

"Cruel monster, devil, flawed technique, injured skaters, cheated jumps, flutzes, ugly tanos/rippons, backloading, broken choreo" etc
 
Several of Eteri's young skaters now have fanfests!
Sofia Akatieva and Eva Novakhova do, as far as I know. There might be more.
