Tarasova interview

[Fossi]

A living international treasure. Thanks again, Ptichka!

It sounds like TT is aware of the internet gossip about her American students Sasha and Johnny not being hard workers, and wants to scotch that. (Especially since it is sometimes said in her name.)

It is interesting that she emphasizes that different individuals require different quantities of work. Some of us armchair critics think we know exactly what each one should be doing in order to win gold rather than silver or bronze.

I wonder how TT solves the problems of her husband's piano students!

Didn't TT fuel those "internet rumours" herself by her own comments in the past about Sasha? Baking cookies, getting sick, not trusting the coach. Was that TT? Or was that Robin? Or both? Seems that both coaches have said some questionable things.

Tarasova told him to do 40 quads and he DID

Goes to show you that she knows what she is doing. Alexi became olympic champ. Sasha did not. Sad but true.
