Now.... Rozanov and Zhilina Saga....... it is a Saga, but i'll try to make it as short as possible...
- A Novice girl and her mother (call them Girl and Mother X) skating at CSKA/Buyanova, were not happy with the amount of attention they got (like 90% of parents in sports). The girl is very talented and her mother loudly complained about lack of special attention.
- They decided to go for a tryout at Sambo. Since the tryouts were for Novice, Rozanov was hosting the event.
- Rozanov could not stand this girl and her mother. Rozanov often encountered them at local Novice competitions and thought of this family, mostly mother, as entitled troublemakers, who complained loudly about scores, coaches not sitting in KnC long enough, and started arguments with other kids and parents.
-Rozanov though this family are troublemakers and too much to deal with.
- At the first tryout Rozanov immediately excluded the girl from Sambo Club.
- Few months later, Family X, came back for another tryout, Rozanov excluded them again.
- They came back few months later again, for a third tryout... And this time Tutberidze was with Rozanov, looked at the girl and accepted her for a trial period. Rozanov was pissed, talked to Eteri about his concerns, but she asked him to try her out for a while. Rozanov was livid! he though he was in charge of Novice...
- As per Mother X's long post in VK, open to all, and with MANY details she gave about the situation, this is what happened.
- Rozanov almost ignored Girl X during sessions, using her time for his favorite Zhilina, did not give one extra minute to G-X in spite of her obvious advantages in skating abilities.
- Mother X even made allegations that Rozanov is intentionally hindering Girl-X's progress, by not working with her enough, possibly teaching her the wrong techniques deliberately.
- In her VK post (long), she shared her observations that Rozanov made Zhilina his protege and a "special project" to take to the top, and that he hinders the progress of any girl who poses competition to Zhilina.
- On one training day Mother X just grabbed her daughter and left the rink (they are now at another rink).
- One of TeamTut's coaches called the Mother, and that's how they learned the details.
- One of them chewed-out Rozanov. Rozanov said "Novices - are his territory".
- The sides did not agree, so Rozanov looked at other options, presenting Zhulina as a "prized skater" who is coming with him.
- Pluschenko made him an offer. end of story on Rozanov and Zhilina.
