Hmmm....interesting.
Wise move. The last year or two were hard to watch.
Smart move..IMHO. All the best for her future endeavours.Wise move. The last year or two were hard to watch.
Korstonaia is my favorite of the Russians. It is horrible that these skaters are not protected. They are national treasures.Interesting YouTube about Kostornaia and insights into the Tuberidze training environment.
Team Tutberidze Exposed? Kostornaia spills it all
Hi guys! Thank you for your patience ð¤ I'm still quite sick so I'm happy I recorded this before it all hit. Enjoy! All fancams used are linked below. Twitte...www.youtube.com
Russia has no interest in nurturing and developing their young talent. They just churn them out, push them until they can't do it and discard them. Imagine how great they could be in a healthy environment?Korstonaia is my favorite of the Russians. It is horrible that these skaters are not protected. They are national treasures.

In my opinion it depends on the coach.I’m not sure any Olympic medal would be worth that level of toxicity. They truly have no childhood.
I never thought of Moskvina or Mishin in this way. But man…the things we are learning from those who stay with Eteri for years is alarming and sad.Russia has no interest in nurturing and developing their young talent.

I was posting at the same time. It is important to distinguish between the good and the bad.In my opinion it depends on the coach.
Of course there are many factors but coach's attitude- and coach's personal goals- are crucial, just mho. Tamara Moskvina for example never ever stole a childhood to any of her skaters. She also maintained to them that a good education and other life than skating has to be in harmony and is important.
I think Mishin has mellowed over the years. Remember Yagudin cheering when Plushenko fell? I don't think things have been always been rosy with him. However, Tuktamysheva has done well under him and she also looks like a healthy young woman. I think Moskvina has always been a good coach. I remember her trying to straighten out Oleg Shliakhov.I never thought of Moskvina or Mishin in this way.

IMO Eteri was a voluntary tool in the hands of the system and I would not call her even a coach. Her goals were not the development of her skaters individuality or beauty of skating.But did it really
reveal anything new? More disappointing than ET was her mummy dearest.....
Oh come on, she was coach of the year, remember ? Yeah...about that.IMO Eteri was a voluntary tool in the hands of the system and I would not call her even a coach. Her goals were not the development of her skaters individuality or beauty of skating.
I would say...she rather (almost) succeeded to kill the soul of women figure skating. Though it is only my persona opinion.
Good for her. Of course, I do remember. However, it does not change my opinion for what i said, and not at all.Oh come on, she was coach of the year, remember ? Yeah...about that.
The way she trains and churns out these girls is like a factory. They're not meant to last, they're replaceable.
I should have clarified that I was being sarcastic . I agree with youGood for her. Of course, I do remember. However, it does not change my opinion for what i said, and not at all.
Someone had posted a summary on Twitter, but they've locked their account now. As it's been so widely discussed since, I've taken the liberty of reposting their notes here: https://pastebin.com/DXxyYiK8.Is the translation somewhere written down? I cannot listen to things well in general vs reading and the voice of the video is especially difficult.
I think Mishin has a soft spot for women. For the longest time he never trained them and then as he grew older, he took on women. In his heyday, he had a similar approach like Eteri where he pitted rivals against one another. The atmosphere was very toxic between Yagudin and Plushenko. What happened with Artur Gachinsky? He was like mini Plush but it looked like his career crashed and burned under Mishin.I think Mishin has mellowed over the years. Remember Yagudin cheering when Plushenko fell?

Tutberidze on the other hand. . .yikes.
Mishin wrote about both these situations in his autobiography "Secrets of the Ice" and explained in depth what transpired in both cases.I think Mishin has a soft spot for women.

I can see that. Question: Was Russian skating always churn 'em out and dump them where you are done?Russia has no interest in nurturing and developing their young talent.

I remember that Mishin coached Elena Sokolova briefly. He also coached Carolina Kostner when she returned to competition. Its crazy that Liza is the only woman single skater in Russia over 20.I think Mishin has a soft spot for women. For the longest time he never trained them and then as he grew older, he took on women.

Not always. Before Russia became a monopoly for the women, the woman actually had long careers. Men's was never like that.I can see that. Question: Was Russian skating always churn 'em out and dump them where you are done?
It would seem that Moskvina (goddess of all thing) never engages in that kind kind of thing?
