Nikol is better technically than Russo.Also Rodeghiero and Kostner are much older than Nikol, at ages 26 and 29, respectively. Russo is only a year younger. After 2018, things will open up quite a bit, me thinks.
Nikol is better technically than Russo.
I wish we can see her in some B competitions before next Nationals.
She married an Italian, Sforza, former ice dancer, in January, I think. Hopefully this will help.

E. Mitrofanova to E.Tutberidze
Every new skater is just filling a spot left empty by somebody who left previously, so the overall size of the group didn't change. And if it wasn't a problem before why would it suddenly become one now? It's not like Tutberidze is doing everything by herself. Most of the technical stuff is taken care of by Dudakov, and recently joined Gleikhengauz is attending to juniors and providing some in-house choreography, plus there is an assortment of choreo and physical specialists available as the need arises. It was pretty clear that empty spots aren't going to stay empty for long. For every skater that wants out there's probably at least 10 that want in.So that's four extra skaters going to Tutberidze. Trusova, Mitrofanova, Uldanova and one of the promising young boys (forgot which one but placed by well at this or last year's novice nationals). I wonder if she is going to start kicking unperspective students out of her group, or how she is going to split her time. She must have now over 20 students. In One of the past interviews she mentioned that she split them to two groups, but now it may be getting too many people even for two groups... Is the third group going to be skating overnight? Interesting that she has all those promising youngsters, but Medvedeva is the only succesful senior left there. I wonder how long she will last there.

Functioning of such boutique has potential transfer drama in it's very basis.It's been discussed before. Tutberidze is not just one individual coach with few specialist in her team, who train just 5-10 athletes. She is a part of big sport school with impressive infrastructure and facilities, because many more other sports developed within this school. She is just a leading coach for their figure skating department. Unlike Buyanova or others who is having completely different system of training. Buyanova group is not a mass production, but boutique FS skills to polish skills and train individual skaters only for high-performance and top level competition.

4 skaters have left - Sakhanovich, Lipnitskaya, Voronov, Pitkeev. 4 skaters have joined - Trusova, Uldanova, Mitrofanova, Frolov. The numbers look pretty equal to me. And I fail to see how the number of Tutberidze students many years ago is relevant to current discussion. We were talking specifically about 4 recent new members and as far as numbers go they didn't change anything.That's not true that every skater is just filling the spot of someone who left. I remember the time when Tutberidze had only seven skaters. It was the times before Lipnitskaya was on junior level. Then she had success with Lipnitskaya and suddenly she had 14 or 15 students. It gradually grew to of 20. There is a reason why her seniors are leaving. Voronov used to be so happy to skate with h, and then suddenly he started feeling that she doesn't care any more.
After this season, two skaters left - Pitkeev and Voronov. She took on four more skaters. So how can you say that the numbers remain unchanged?
