Highlights:
"First of all, I want to thank Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze and the entire coaching staff for a long, fruitful, sometimes very difficult work."
"I will continue to speak for the Russian Federation, staying in the school "Sambo-70", while training with the Canadian specialist Brian Orser."

Very mature and dignified statement from her. At least someone knows how to take the high road. I can't blame her for wanting to try another method...good luck Zhenya!
Zhenya's statement, translated:
"First of all, I want to thank Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze and the entire coaching staff for a long, fruitful, sometimes very difficult work. For the great patience that they showed in relation to me and incredible coaching, professional endurance. These people gave me a life in figure skating and led to such high results that I can rightly be proud of.
Turning to the subject of recent events, I want to clarify the situation. I will continue to speak for the Russian Federation, staying in the school "Sambo-70", while training with the Canadian specialist Brian Orser. I do this to use new opportunities and other methods of the training process and continue to represent Russia at the highest level.
As you know, after the Olympics on March 8 I flew to Germany for medical examination. And I was strongly advised to refrain from the load, and I was forced to miss two months of full-time training.
I want to wish the further development and prosperity to Eteri Georgievna's group and once again say thank you for such a valuable 11 years of my life. I remember how I came in just a little. Yes, it was sometimes hard, but I was trained, educated, supported, when necessary - driven. I grew up in front of Eteri Georgievna. She made an invaluable contribution to the development of me not only as an athlete, but also as a person. From her I got many life lessons. I will remember them all my life. On the rink "Crystal" my childhood passed, I will remember with gratitude the time of hard but fruitful work.
Also, I wish all the children from the Eteri Georgievna group, the greatest health, patience, diligence and sports longevity, because we all now know figure skating is moving forward.
I hope that the time will pass and everyone will understand that this was the only possible option for both of us, to be able to continue to work honestly."

Represent Russia, I think. Should be moving to Canada, something like LilBet I suppose.

No. She will still represent Sambo-70 since she is still skating for Russia (of course, there was never any point in bringing up other countries). Obviously she will have to go to Canada to work with Brian.

She will still represent Russia and her club Sambo 70 but will train with Orser.

Where did you get that from? She likes him and wants to work with him...the end. Why would she bother going to some other Russian coach when she said she is interested in trying other methods?

Good luck Evengia
