How things actually went down aside, it's very obvious to anyone that out of Alina and Evgenia, Eteri preferred (oops, past tense now :p) the latter. And yes, even when Evgenia was not winning Euros & OG. I'm not saying she actively mistreats Alina or something, but it was quite clear her fave was Med. Even if we discount KnC reactions and post-KnC, Eteri herself told people not to refer to Alina as Olys Champ. I'm sure Eteri loves medals; it made her reaction to Evgenia losing even more surprising.

Plus, Zhulin did say Eteri said she wanted Evgenia to win more.

It is not a surprise that... We all knew that Eteri is/was more invested in Evgenia, while Daniil in Alina.

But it's stupid to risk completely ruining your relationship with your coach when you might be forced to stay with them. This is evidently how the Russian system works.

ETA: Especially if you're worried that your coach will fight the federation to stop you from leaving.

I think it's already ruined or obviously something doesn't work well if you want to leave.
If you communicate, at least you have a chance to understand better-you as a skater and the coach - what the problems are.
It's like you're in a marriage and you don't tell your husband that you have problems until you don't find another one lol :laugh:
Why would a coach want to force a skater to train with him/her? It's just stupid to hope that a forced relationship would work.
 
This statement is just formal politeness, obviously there are hard feelings on both sides. Had Evgenia wanted to split amicably she could have nipped all the mud and media frenzy in the bud, talking to Eteri upfront and saying all those nice things to her personally, and making official statement before all the rumor started. A lot of "could have done" and "could have been prevented". So it was a deliberate choice on her side.

Seeing how easily and fast Rusfed agreed on Orser makes me think they knew about it from the start and probably don't pay for him, maybe there is sponsor, because rusfed is government institution, they must approve their budgets, kind of doubtful they could have managed to do it so fast and smooth. Rumor also must have started from Rusfed
 
So happy Evgenia could escape and still with a fighting chance, unlike others before her.

A relationship with a coach is so incredibly unbalanced, even more when it starts with the athlete as a young child. The skater, any skater, even if the coach isn't an awful person like ET, is always right if he or she wants to leave. The coach can be 80 years old, weigh 80 kilos and still have a job, skaters don't have that luxury, they have the right to do what is best for them.

Well he must comment at some point sooner or later - not on the Eteri split, but on why he thought he and Zhenya will be a good fit :)

If it´s a broad interview he may give a quote, other wise I don´t think he will bother addressing Eteri´s paranoia
 
So let's take this interview: http://fs-gossips.com/eteri-tutberidze-i-have-a-feeling-that-orser-challenged-me/

She said:
Just after Zhenyu left the Olympics ice she said a completely childish phrase: “Couldn’t you have kept Zagitova in juniors for another year?”

What???!!
1. Eteri has no proof this private conversation even took place. You cannot accuse people and try to damage their reputations by bringing unproven private conversations with people who are trusting you.
2. Whether Zhenya said it or not - the conversation was PRIVATE. If we judge people based on our private conversation in our weak moments then none of us would have any reputation at all, not mentioning half of us would be in jail. We judge people by public actions, not by thoughts and private conversations.
3. If she, a middle age mature woman, uses private conversations with teens as a weapon against them then she is on a level of a teenage queen-bee using her power to bully other teenagers who trusted her. She is dangerous and should be removed from the coaching world. I would never trust her as a skater's parent. She violates all coaching codes and should be automatically disqualified.

Again - whether Zhenya said it or not - it DOES NOT matter. It was meant private. Very private. Zhenya trusted her coach that it would stay private. That's why she said it. In and after Olympic Zhenya maintained a very professional and classy approach to Alina, they toured and skated together and supported each other. It does NOT matter what she holds deep in her mind. And probably she holds a lot. As most of us subconsciously would...

And Eteri is now blaming Orser for all this. She is ridiculous. She is acting like a spoiled 10 year old brat. My goodness! She is more and more embarrassing!
 
Just imagine the anticipation and suspense awaiting for the first competition with Medvedeva skating against Zagitova. There will be fur flying if Medvedeva beats Zagitova...oh the salt on the wounds...🙂🙂🙂
 
Is it possible she deleted her pics with Yuzu because she didn’t want to tip off that she was going to TCC? When in actuality it likely did the opposite?
