There is a translation of an interview by Tarasova over at fsuniverse. And as usual with TT, it is extremely thoughtful and interesting, particularly her comments about Russian coaches working in the USA.

She discusses Yagudin, Sasha, C&S, Grushgons, Joubert and Griazev, so there is something for almost everyone!

Wow. In the last paragraph, she says she thinks the judges have already figured out how they can make deals in the new CoP system, just like they did in the 6.0 system.

And I think she is dead-on right.

Thanks Doris. One thing I like about TT is that she never speaks entirely negatively about her former students (as opposed to most other Russian coaches). You can tell she would have something to say about GrushGons and Morozov, but she opts to switch subjects instead.

BTW, I don't beleive that she really preders working with C&S rather than G&G. Just my opinion.

She seems like a nice lady, and very interesting small comments on the possible conspiracies in the new judging system.

According to the translation, she said she likes them better as people. If this translation is accurate, not having met any of them, I have no reason to doubt this.
