It's all in your head. You present it as a fact, but it is an interpretation, nothing else. And one more word to "it was not about Sasha". Obviously you are not concerned with Sasha either, because otherwise, now that the decision has been made, you would not be constantly talking about the apocalypse, but would give her courage and support her. But you're only interested in #teamtutberidzeforwhatever. And one more thing. Figure skating is a business for Eteri too and Sasha was equipment that can be used to get medals. Anyone who denies this is either mercilessly naive or a propagandist.

I care. Rudkovskaya is embodiment of bad taste, meanness, arrogance and vulgarity, all the things I don't wanna see close to figure skating.

Yes. Why? She is not athlete and the sport.ru forum allegedly is about sports. The forum standard has gone down in last years. She is from show business, and I'm sure most of the haters would be happy if they were Rudkovskaya.

Is she on the ice? And jumped 4S immediately? Great step!
You can see Sasha Trusova's first combo on ice https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGq61eFxLj/

As for me, I would like to encourage Sasha, but to me it is like encouraging the captain of the Titanic after his ship has hit the iceberg.

Honestly I sort of agree, though I would put it less bluntly. I don't think going to Plushy's was the right decision. I don't doubt that he has potential, but so far he is unproved. And if you point me towards Titova, well she's been there since she was 10 and never really got any real attention from Eteri either.
As for the little attention in the Eteri group, I think maybe Sasha and her parents didn't like that she was no longer the favorite in the group. Now it is Anna. But times have changed since Sima's time in the Eteri group, she now has a lot more skaters vying for attention from her, Dudakov, and Gleikhengauz. USually in her photos there are only 8 in her group. And it seems like maybe after Euros, Sasha was "demoted" to the younger kids group with Rozanov. In today's time with so many girls and boys wanting to get into their group, someone like Sima probably wouldn't have gotten in despite all her talent and ability.

Skaters go back on the ice. When will the "Battle of Titans" begin?
Skaters yearned for ice during the self-isolation, now they begin training for real. What can they and us expect from the new season?
Skaters his Academy were sent by Yevgeniy Plyushenko sent to Kislovodsk. On June 1, they will begin full training there. At the base in the mountains, the 15-year-old supergirl, two-time World Champion among Juniors, Aleksandra Trusova, will come out on the ice.
In May, her transition from Eteri Tutberidze to Yevgeniy Plyushchenko shocked the world of figure skating. The very young Veronika Zhilina and coach Sergey Rozanov also left for the Olympic Champion. Someone even talked about the beginning of the “Clash of Titans”, a large and open confrontation between a coach, who built her extra-class monopoly from scratch, and a two-time Olympic Champion with serious financial capabilities.
However, skirmishes between them have happened before. Recall at least the December battle in social networks. Then, after a sudden announcement of a break in the career of Olympic Champion Alina Zagitova, Plyushchenko suggested that she could continue her career, but with a different coach and would soon return to the competition. Tutberidze in response accused Plyushchenko of luring athletes. According to her, Plyushenko tried to persuade Zagitova to train with him. The Olympic Champion retorted that if he wanted to “lure” someone, then his authority and resources would be enough for an impressive list, for a complete TeamPlyushchenko with good salaries and large sponsorship contracts.
By the way, some experts admit that the girls went to the Plyushchenko because of money. Eteri Tutberidze herself, commenting on the departure of Aleksandra, noted that good athletes and specialists will always be invited and offered more favorable conditions.
And on the other hand, transitions in figure skating are common, said three-time Olympic Champion, State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina in an interview with Radio Sputnik.
“ Figure skaters have the right to change coaches and schools. We have spring, May, and this is the official transition period from rink to rink, from coach to coach, all within the framework of the required rules, and usually this is the individual approach of the coach and the athlete. These are the contracts and agreements between an athlete and a trainer and plus the federation, so this is an absolutely normal business approach. These children and these trainers have long been working on a professional basis. "
Some experts note that with the advent of Aleksandra Trusova, a new stage in the development of the "Plyushchenko's Angels" Academy may begin. Sasha’s new coach himself admitted to the media that working with her is the main challenge in his career, he will prepare Trusova for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing and for the sake of this he will refuse ice shows and advertising tours to the maximum.
Others respond in response that history may be partially repeating itself. After all, once Plyushchenko put serious hopes on the Olympic Champion Adelina Sotnikova, who was one of the first to come to his team. But to big sport, she ultimately did not return and became an actress in his shows.
In any case, the skaters finally go out on the ice and start preparing for the competition. At the rink, it will become clear who is who.

Backlog of interesting articles accumulated during my stint in the penalty box. I'll not interpret each and every 'talking head's response to the transfer. Let competitive season begin and we'll find out soon enough.

Words that were a lie and that came from vengeful woman, who not only never said a single good word for any skater that left her, but on the contrary - she bashed them all- Shelepen, Lipnitsakaya, Medvedeva, Pitkeev, etc. For each of them she found very "nice" expressions. For Tsurskaya she even invented genetic condition, which was refuted by Polina's mother.
Her team proudly continued this course of behavior with Sasha. But, yes, we didn't hear much of her herself, so yes, it could be more coming and we can expect "Why did you give her the wrong programs and made her fall?" As we saw, for her one year is nothing to continue to bash..
And the complete mutual trust you claim with such certainty for that club, is obviously neither complete nor mutual. And if the trust is broken, then in my opinion, best way is for all parties to separate. As for the shows, so Tutberidze Team does not drag athletes to shows? Тhey actually have their own. Not to mention Alina, who did not retire from competitive skating, but also did shows.

Pessimists like you Eteri would fire on the very first day.
Better over than under. Especially after such a long time. I guess the timing will improve after a couple of jumps

Next season will be interesting. Alena will be 17yo, Anna and Sasha 16yo.
From what we've seen ~17yo is usually when they start to struggle

I hope Alena can be different because I think she is so so special, but when people say that we are being unreasonable or critical of success it's really just written in history....
How did the last two European champions in their first senior season do in their second senior season? A little rough, the brilliance and the talent had to be dug out behind struggles, growth, and struggling jump technique. We'll see how these young girls can cope. I worry for Sasha most, because although she is very strong and athletic, she still very much has the body of a child. And she relies on quads to win, so I worry for when she grows. I hope her strength will carry her through and outlast some before her.

This season, everybody will struggle because of all the measures to keep them safe and healthy under the pandemic which is still not under control in Russia. There is an age rule in effect which limits older staff even to attend the trainings. When strictly adhering to isolation and social distancing measures making training difficult and cumbersome. The limited occupancy FFKKR training camps can be isolated from the outer world better than the city rinks in Moscow, Sankt Peterburg and the other bigger cities. Here, kids, trainers and staff need to travel by private and public transport home and back, mix with the population, breaches will occur and whole rinks be put in 14 day quarantine again when this happens.
No official FFKKR rosters and calendar yet, when Open Test Skates are around the usual date, there should be enough time to get skills back in order, but learning new skills while staging completely new programs in all their complexity and details when you cannot bring in external choreographers etc in every day?
It's an old record. She (and all Mishin group) is still off ice.
