Look, here.. Alina looks so sad in this photothey will manage to destroy her happiness after winning this and her confidence too
For the controversial parts I step in:
"... Пресса пишет про моих фигуристок – «роботы». Ну какие они роботы? Девочки весом меньше сорока пяти килограммов. Сейчас многие ратуют за то, чтобы поднять планку допуска во взрослые соревнования до восемнадцати лет, но тогда начнется регресс. Когда девочки взрослеют, организм начинает готовиться к материнству, начинает замедляться, беречь себя»
“The press writes about my skaters that they are robots. What robots? Girls weighing less then 45 kilos. Now many people plead that for senior competitions you are only admitted above 18 years, but then regress starts. If girls grow up, the organism starts to prepare for motherhood, becomes slower to protect himself.”
Well, interestingly skaters like Irina Slutkaya, Kaetlyn Osmond or Gabriele Daleman didn't regress after age 18. It seems to be connected to Eteri's coaching methods. But well, can we say that she here openly admitted that she can coach girls successfully only till age 18?
«Я не знаю, что такое характер победителя и как его выковать. Все это лирика. У спортсмена просто должен быть характер. Он поставил цель и должен к ней прийти. Независимо от того, болит у него что-то, устал, страшно. Пусть это будет маленькая цель: сделать прыжок, откатать программу целиком, отработать на тренировке так, чтобы никто не заметил, что у тебя ножка болит."
"I don’t know what is the character of a winner and how to create it. It’s lyrics. An athlete must have character. He sets up a goals and strives for them. Independent of something hurting, being tired or being terrible. And if it’s only a small goal: to do a jump, skate the program as whole, work in practice in a way that nobody recognizes, that your leg hurts."
So this coach thinks it's cool to skate despite injury and to even hide it. We've seen how far Zhenia got with it: a minor injury became a major one and one endangering her chances for Olympic gold. I better not comment any further on it. :dev2:
I have a lot of nice things to say about Russian ladies since many of them are my favorites, like e.g. Polina. I not necessarily have to like their coaches. Besides a link to this interview has been posted here with a statement that it might contain controversial statements and asked for translation. That was not me and and I simply picked out that parts. So what? I know Russian, I’m sorry for helping out. With that no controversial interviews should be posted here as well.
It's really kind of taken out of context. On the contrary Eteri said about importance of strong inner motivation. If athlete isn't mentally ready to tolerate pressure, hunger, pain and go step by step to her dream so according to Eteri it is really hard to make winner without right state of mind.So what? I know Russian, I’m sorry for helping out. With that no controversial interviews should be posted here as well.
I care for Polina and about her having a long-lasting career, maybe that’s why I don’t care so much what she would think about it.

If you follow him you would know he is Maria's number 1 fan. No one comes close to his dedication to her. That comment was all about Maria and Carolina without naming names. But he had people like you jumping to the wrong conclusion and had to set the record straight.No he didn't
