So young yet already has impeccable taste! :agree:
The father of Tursynbaeva: "We have full confidence in Tutberidze. I do not know who is spreading rumors about finding a new coach»
The father of the Kazakhstan figure skater Elizabeth Tursynbayeva Baytak Tursynbaev said about her recovery from injuries, and expressed confidence in the athletes coach Eteri Tutberidze.
"How is Elizabeth?" Is the term of her restoration known?
- She trains, on September 29 we leave to China on Shanghai Trophy. We will be there until October 6. Elizabeth's treatment runs parallel. In sports after all so: if there is trauma – need to be treated, not interrupting training facilities.
- Elizabeth Tursynbayeva is announced for the first stage of the Skate America Grand Prix series, which will be held from 18 to 20 October in Las Vegas. Are you planning to go there?
- Yes, we will go to the USA, we prepare for tournament. The training never stopped. In early September, they were in a relaxed, truncated mode, but now we do not miss training. And now Elizabeth skates her programs fine.
– The injury before the start of the season did not break Elizabeth?
– We had similar events before the youth Olympics in 2016 and last year. Morally, we are ready for anything. But it is unpleasant when it happens before the start of the season.
It's certainly knocked the rhythm a bit, but morale is very strong. The more the coach Eteri Tutberidze always supportive of Elizabeth. We feel support from all our fans – both from Kazakhstan and from Russia.
- Some media have spread information that the figure skating Federation of Kazakhstan is looking for a new coach for Elizabeth. How would you comment on that?
"It's a rumor. I don't know who distributes them. We're not going anywhere. Elizabeth is in the team of Eteri Tutberidze, it is the strongest team in the world.
We fully trust Tutberidze. We are in constant contact, consult with her. She does everything at the highest level – - Tursynbayeva's father told.

Lilbet's training in Shanghai:

Some struggles with jumps in the beginning, the combos at the end are clean. Considering her recent injury she's doing pretty well.

Yes, it will be interesting to see in what state Elisabet is, the nature of her injury still undisclosed to the public?
Will she throw a quad or another ultra-si element for victory? If not fully healed, she might better spare herself for the GP series and events that really matter later in the season.
I think she won’t, if she hangs on to the silver or even the podium it will be a good enough outcome for this competition imo.
She needs to just work on making triples stable and huge as they were in spring, and then add 3A and 4S as she feels confident.
It’s a shame she might not make the gpf this year, the injury is really untimely, but she still has next year and the year after to do so
Step by step!
