Trusova is a legend for throwing her skates at Tutberidze

[@drsalka]

she's been raised surrounded by boys/brothers, she dyed her hair red, she loves jumps, has trouble expressing (authentically presenting/demonstrating) any emotion on ice other than passion/attack - it's safe to say, anger's her favourite (go-to) emotion. it's very on brand to throw yr skates at the coach in this context imho.

[@MelonLord]

I’m worrying about her skates more than Eteri imo, but Sasha does have an worse attitude compared to the rest of the girls.

I agree with Eteri, Kamila is one in a lifetime athlete, and with a more caring coaching staff and approach, She could have had a long career like Yuna or Yuzuru. But she gets the Tonya Harding end of the stick now because of Eteri's lack of ethics. So Eteri is and the system she promotes are at fault for the downfall of figure skating Of course, the international skating community should be also blamed for perpetuating the condition of abuse to exist. There is no excuse for blaming a child even If said child is found doping, but the adults, is other matter. My heart is Forever sad because Kamila would not come to achive her potential. Skate and podium at two Olimpics, at least 5-6 Worlds and so on. Have a healthy suporting career and transition out of it with fulfillment not scandal.

[@otowndude08]

She can't have a long career under eteri. I think that's why so many are leaving her. They get the fundamentals they need from her and then move to a coach that has a long term vision for them.

[@MelonLord]

I know right, I am such a huge kamila fan. She’s so talented, but she has so many haters. She is one in a lifetime, just like yuzuru which I agree with Eteri. But her legacy was literally RUINED! She could’ve become a GOAT, an actual GOAT. Even despite her controversial jumping technique, she had so much potential to become an actual queen of figure skating, and it was ruined over a substance she wasn’t supposed to take. This is my villain origin story honestly..

I think the delayed puberty may actually be because of how low weight these athletes are. Its pretty well documented that being at a really low weight can affect your hormone balance to the point of stopping periods, and it would not surprise me if this is the case here

[@plp666]

This is exactly right, it happens for so many female athletes, if they remain under a certain body fat %, their hormones will not be at normal levels.

[@AlyssaAska]

it is really interesting because while the low weight is usually considered the cause, it might be actually a lack of energy availability ( and yes, low weight - low calories is often meaning low energy availability). I did some looking into this because my daughter is 10 and a competitive gymnast and although she has always been very naturally low weight/low body fat and trains 20 hours a week, she has already begun puberty - even early. I also read that delaying puberty through extreme calorie restriction can have a huge impact on bones, which is why a lot of gymnasts that try and go elite before puberty and massively restrict end up never making it senior due to injuries. I think figure skating could learn a lot from this, especially becuase in gymnastics in the last decade or so it is quite clear that actually having muscle to do the skills, rather than keeping weight low, leads to a safer and longer career.

[@CalliopeFive]

@@AlyssaAska yep! Poor wording on my part, I meant being intentionally low weight/ on low calories rather than naturally low weight

Ok, I may have an idea about the flower bouquet drama. In my Eastern European country, giving a bouquet (no matter how small) to a teacher at the end of a school year it was a way of paying respect, of thanking the teacher for their care... I think this still applies in Russia - so the lack of that bouquet in this case feels like the ultimate sign of disrespect. Or, this might be only wild speculations.

16:20 “Clean tail” is the right translation, actually. It’s the metaphor Eteri used to describe an athlete who is 100% sincere, doesn’t betray his/her coach, so basically “clean tail” means “no karma”. And she said that athletes with clean tails win

[@sirena3470]

41:53 If Russia cannot return to the 2026 Olympics, Team Tutberidze students will probably begin transferring to other countries next season. Recently, after the Russian Grand Prix, Petrosian was asked if she was considering transferring to Armenia (she is half-Armenian). She avoided answering the question and moved on to the next question. This season, Sofia Samodelkina transferred to Kazakhstan. I don't think Team Tutberidze students will just accept their fate and wait for the 2030 Olympics, there will definitely be transfers to other countries

[@Diana-ru6mt]

They would never do that because the Russian federation supports them so much financially. And eteri ego is way to big for that

[@sirena3470]

@@Diana-ru6mt Most of the top level Russian skaters come from wealthy families anyway, I don’t think they are desperate for financial help from Russia. And for Eteri, medals (especially Olympic medals) are more important than everything else. I think there might be a transfer intention at least for Petrosian. If she certainly didn't have such an intention, why didn't she just say "no" and close the subject when she was asked about it? Also for Akateva, 2026 Olympics is her only chance. She already started to struggle with injuries and she won’t be able to remain competitive until 2030 Olympics. She is a very ambitious girl, so I think she might follow what Sofia Samodelkina did and change sports citizenship. There is no way to be sure though, we will wait and see what happens 😄

Sometimes I just can't believe,that Eteri really says such things in her interviews. There are a couple of moments that has shocked me the most. Firstly, is there someone, who seriously thinks, that a sportsman of the highest level will eat ice cream from an almost unknown person? Or drink tea with he/she? Without taking into account that Kamila was probably on the sport diet, we should remember that sportmen of this level can't trust anybody. Do you remember Medvedeva's story about drinking water? She said, that she could drink only from her own bottle, and if she lost the bottle from her eyesight even for a moment, she would not drink from it. And then Eteri tells us this wonderful fairytale about Kamila and ice cream)) Secondly, did Anya know that she was a "revenge"? This part of interview is so disgusting. There was a lot of other bad things said, but they were quite usual for Eteri, so I commented on the new ones. Sorry for my bad English.

[@kaykaykay9667]

This quote: May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far. - Author: Heather Lyons. Eteri falters on the last part of the quote. She simply doesn't understand how destructive she can be to her skaters. Taking a prodigy like Kamila and giving her all of that heart medication? Her ambition clouds her judgement regarding these young skaters. And the skaters win in the short run and lose in the long run because of it. It is sad.

[@nibikraken]

This whole interview that Eteri gave demonizing her own coaching staff and athletes and the subsequent complete unwillingness of Tarasova to take responsibility for comments she made shit-talking (essentially gaslighting) about Eteri and other athletes, in the name of "memory problems" is CLASSIC narcissism and the whole "every man out for himself" mentality. This kind of culture and its enabling of it needs to be eradicated in order for figure skating, not just in Russia but all over the world, to be valued and taken seriously. Tbh, this is also pervasive in general life as well but I digress. We need to start doing better, and very soon, as it is quite literally killing the consciousness, awareness, and appreciation for figure skating as the beautiful sport that it truly is.

[@sirena3470]

The story of getting doping from ice cream or tea is just ridiculous. While giving the doping sample, Kamila herself declared that she was using 2 heart drugs that are not yet banned (l-carnitine and hypoxen), and these drugs were correctly detected in her sample. In addition to these two, another heart drug named trimetazidine, which was banned, was detected in her sample. Naturally, the story of contamination or accidental ingestion is not convincing in this case, an athlete who was already using 2 heart drugs may as well have used a third heart drug. And her country also had a proven state sponsored doping program in the past and sanctioned for it. The doctor of Kamila’s team was also literally sanctioned for doping before. So there are a lot of circumstances that cast doubt against Kamila in this regard. But on the other hand, an investigation should also be launched against the test laboratory that announced the test results late. I previously thought that the results were announced late because the party sending the sample did not mark the sample as a priority. But apparently, even if the party sending the sample does not mark it as a priority, the legal period for the laboratory to examine the sample is 20 days in any case. The laboratory declared that the normal 20-day testing time for the sample lapsed, apparently due to COVID-19 related backlogs at the testing laboratory. This is suspicious because it took them 45 days to announce the results, which is far too long, and they announced the results exactly the second the Team Event competition ended. If the results had been announced on time, Kamila would have been disqualified on time and Liza Tuktamysheva would have gone to the Olympics instead. For the Team Event, Russia would have chosen Liza to compete in the short program and Sasha in the free program and Russia would have taken the Team gold medal anyway. Maybe they deliberately announced the test results late because they did not want Russia to be first in the Team Event (there is no evidence, but it is not impossible that this happened). Russia was sure to win and sure to choose Kamila to compete for the Team Event and now they will lose the gold medal due to Kamila’s doping case. This delay of the test results deprived great athletes Liza, Sasha, Mishina/Galliamov from their chances of Olympic gold and this is just sad. Also because of this case, skaters representing other countries have still not received their Team Event medals. All of these could have been avoided if the test results were announced on time. This doping case is a huge chaos. I hope that the investigations into this case have been conducted properly. Every party responsible for making a 15-year-old child use 3 heart drugs should be punished in the most severe way. Kamila's European Championship gold and Russia's Team Event gold should be taken away and Kamila should be banned from the sport for at least 2 years. Otherwise, coaches who see that minors are not punished for doping will exploit the situation and make their minor students use doping. And even if the laboratory didn't cause this delay on purpose, it should still be punished for its irresponsibility

[@dozzalisa]

I think they wanted to announce the doping test results when it would give more visibility for the case, for political reasons against russia. I believe that's why they would not let Russia compete with their own flag and now not let them compete at all internationally. When other countries like US for example are always creating war with other countries and had a massive case of children sexual abuse on gymnastics, and I don't see them being punished internationally.

[@sirena3470]

@@dontforgetmashekels9005 actually, it would not make a difference if they announced it after the Individual Event. Kamila would be disqualified and the Women’s Single podium would be the same as now (Gold and Silver medals would remain with Russian skaters anyway). But the doping case completely changed the podium for the Team Event

[@beckyy584]

It wasn’t just the Covid surge that delayed the results, WADA revealed Kamilla’s sample wasn’t marked for Olympic athlete priority testing. Therefore it was tested after the marked samples to be ready before the Olympic Games.

[@Pikachu-kw4fv]

I don'r think the story was about when she doped, but an example of how open and trusting she was pre doping scandal. How, bedore the scandal she was open to admit to Eteri that she ate ice cream on the day of competition. But post scandal she is more reserved, less trusting. It was an example of her former but now lost innocence. Not the moment eteri or Kamila think she doped.

[@ElizavetaPolianitskaia]

@sirena3470 actually, not that much. If they had time to call for the spare (either Sasha or Ania, or even Liza), Russia would 99% have had gold. If to disqualify Kami, it means that one team does not have, like, a whole discipline (women’s single), it would be fair to cancel the result of all female skaters, and in this case Russia still have silver (the gold goes to US). But nevertheless, if to study other cases, and if to consider, that Kami is not guilty (= didn’t take the drug consciously), it means, that her result, except Russian nationals, could remain. I can clarify why, if you are interested.

Severe underweight can block puberty for some time and lead to Amenorrhö (not having the period at all). Doing professional sports is also known for blocking puberty for some time. So I get where the idea of puberty blockers comes from and with Valievas Doping scandal and the history of the team doctor I wouldnt be surprised, but with what we know about the weight management in this team it also might not even be 'necessary'.

I don't know why you think that the girls have underweight. For Russians they're miniature, but not super thin. Maybe only Anna Scherbakova looks thin, but you can see how strong she is. Her muscles are super ok

[@hikariali]

Eteri DUG into Zhenya so much in this interview that it made me realize the two don’t need therapy to solve this out. Eteri needs it, alone. Zhenya really pulled the ultimate boss move when Tarasova aided her to leave to Orser and has stuck to her word with Brian’s that if it weren’t for the pandemic, that would have not been the case. More so, she’s still in Team Tut, but has completely distanced herself by training in Ilia’s rink instead and is thriving. This is truly taking her power back and I just know it eats Eteri up inside. The others still kiss her ass, Zhenya doesn’t even mention her anymore. 🤣

[@vissennav]

Still I don't understand how Eteri waste some talents. For me Kostornaia was true artist that can win everything if someone will take real care of her...

[@sirena3470]

Eteri particularly disliked Aliona because Aliona was a strong character and did not allow Eteri to humiliate her, she was shaking Eteri’s authority. Eteri said that she accepted Aliona back to the team only because her daughter asked her to do so. She made Aliona apologize to her on TV before accepting her back to the team. That’s pretty wild actually

During the Beijing Olympic game, I felt very pity for both Anna and Sasha that Eteri didn’t allow any one of them to share the gold in the free program in the team tournament. Eteri completely reveals whom is her favourite student that’s Kamila. Eteri wanted only her favourite student to become the two-time Olympic champion. And now in this interview, I get more disappointed when the interviewer talked about Anna’s victory, but Eteri talked about Kamila. Moreover, Eteri said Anna’s victory is “The Revenge”. How unfairly Eteri has treated her students is shocking me.

I agreed with Kamila’s selection to play in the short program in the Beijing team tournament, but either Anna or Sasha deserved to play in the free program in the team tournament. I am happy with any one of them (Anna or Sasha) to play in the free program in the team tournament. Eteri clearly reveals herself during the Beijing Olympic game.

I was not even a fun of figure skating, I just liked watching Alexandra Trusova on yt shorts but my hating for Tutberitze is growing very very rapidly

[@mollymollie6048]

I think it’s okay to discuss a lack of physical development, particularly if there is significant change when they go to a different coach. Talking about USA Gymnastics and during the Karolyi era the gymnasts said they had to starve, were constantly fat shamed, and shamed if they began to develop through normal puberty. Their careers were also over by 18/19, eating disorders are rampant…simple starvation will keep puberty from happening, bodies were broken, etc. Now the avg age of gymnasts is around 21 from many countries including the US. They look healthy and physically fit and can do amazing gymnastics. I feel for the skaters who are stuck in the Russian system, it just seems horrible. I guess beware who is controlling your children! (I’m not shaming anyone’s body…I’m talking about allowing elite athletes to have good nutrition, fluids, so that they don’t break bones from nutrient deficiency. No one should be shamed about how their body looks, and I think the Team Tutberize skaters have very little say in their nutritional needs or physical health needs that will impact them for the rest of their lives.) Also, I love it that Sasha threw her skates at Eteri! I mean, I’m not promoting violence, but that woman deserves a little abuse back, imo.

[@drsalka]

I've personally known of many skaters whose bodies looked nothing like an eating disordered body would and they managed to get injured often despite the optics of a healthy/normal body. i am not sure what the point u r trying to make is.

[@velinaporizkova5533]

Камила Валиева и Аня Щербакова сейчас очень набрали вес, но продолжают делать прыжки и выполнять свои программы, не думаю, что если бы им дали возможность сейчас участвовать в соревнованиях, они бы катались хуже, чем прежде.

[@mollymollie6048]

@@drsalka Skating can be very hard on the body even with optimal nutrition and not overtraining…some people are going to get injured and not be able to recover from those injuries. (I’m one of them! Trashed knee by 14, prior to the time surgeons were better able to repair it so that I could continue skating…it’s my landing leg. Now, as a middle aged adult, I have trash back, that looks like someone 20 years older than I am, and it’s not fun. Common long term figure skating injuries/overuse on developing bones…also nutrition and overwork was not something anyone talked about as being important. We weren’t forced to starve, but you definitely heard about ‘extra pounds throwing off your balance’ a lot. I don’t blame my coaches…if you are going to be an athlete, you run the risk of injury at the time that’s serious, or 30 years later, you are dealing with the fallout of what figure skating does to certain parts of the body.) But, when you have a coach who’s skaters are all physically (if not emotionally) “broken” by the time they’re 17, something is going on with that coach and their training methods that is physically harmful beyond what just participating in the risks the sport itself brings. In the US, Kim Zmeskal’s gym Texas Dreams (Texas Nightmares nickname) that she ran was notorious for having amazing gymnasts who were ruined by devastating injuries…I’m not sure if that gym is even open anymore. The point I was trying to make is that we do have a lot of knowledge now about appropriate nutrition, strength training, need for fluids and electrolytes, and overuse/overtraining injuries and how to avoid them (although, injuries will happen regardless.) These young female skaters particularly need nutrients and strength training to allow bones to develop normally to reduce osteoporosis at a young age, to have muscles be strong overall through strength training for endurance and bone health, and appropriate nutrition to maintain the body’s caloric needs in order to feed the brain, organs, tissues, and bones while also allowing the athlete to perform/practice at a high, safer level…hopefully resulting in longer careers, fewer injuries, shorter recovery times from injuries, and reduced long-term negative impact on the body. You are correct in that people can be taking very good care of themselves and have a coach who promotes that, and still wind up with a career ending injury…it happens…but it happens much less in those situations.

[@AlyssaAska]

yes, you can always get injured when training at a high level, but I think it is much worse when you intentionally restrict energy intake/food to keep weight super Low and intentionally delay puberty because that also has an effect on bones and is often a contributing factor of why some gymnasts do tend to get many stress fractures and others don't. But sometimes no matter how hard you train or how thin you are you cannot stop it - my daughter is a competitive gymnast and went through "the growth spurt" at 10, despite being super thin. I'm personally happy to see that in gymnastics there are athletes with longer careers and who start elite later (like Simone Biles) rather than rushing them to the olympics as fast as possible and potentially damaging their bodies. I hope figure skating follows.

[@mollymollie6048]

@@AlyssaAska I had the same problem at 10/11 many years ago as a figure skater. It was very difficult to adjust spins and jumps to a body that was totally foreign to me…and at that age just feeling so uncomfortable with the new body. Puberty developments naturally put a thicker fat deposit onto the bodies of girls/teens and creates curves that weren’t there before. It’s a total adjustment…and wearing tight, very body showing clothing while skating was so awkward feeling for a few years. I grew up in the age of ‘crash diets’ and literal starvation as the way to diet. We didn’t have the products now to eat low fat ice cream, or sugar free candy…it was all restriction and so promoted by society (still is, but it’s not as intense, imo, as it felt then.) You weren’t told to your face to lose weight, but you could see your coach look you up and down…and you didn’t eat for a week. Nutrition wasn’t taught (anywhere!) and the optimal was to look anorexic. So, even if no one says anything overtly, just body language, just the self-consciousness of peers (she’s taller/thinner/prettier/better etc) and the constant drumming of US society to be thin led to many girls, like me, to do idiotic ways of losing weight. My R knee being trashed was an overtraining injury (discovered after I broke my kneecap skating) where I no longer have cartilage in that joint and bone spurs from the femur and tibia/fibula had developed. My knee constantly hurt (of course you ignore the pain, say nothing, and just keep on keeping on training) and I was falling more and more on jumps because it was giving out on me. In a follow up visit after the ER, the doctor told me, with my mother in the room, “no more skating ever again.” I was devastated. Now, in middle age, I have stress and compression fractures in my neck, and down most of my back, early onset osteoporosis and arthritis. I look normal, but I sure don’t feel it. Then…there’s the issue of CTE with skaters that’s being investigated (known for football players and multiple other sports.) A lot of skating involves high speed, high impact movements, as well as spinning…and falls…even if you don’t hit your head. You know when “you rang your bell,” over and over and over. It’s a beautiful sport (or it was prior to the scoring system change…it needed to be changed, but they did a terrible job, imo) and I never feel more free than when I’m on the ice, but it comes with it’s risks, and especially when you are dealing with child athletes with developing bodies who have no view of the future and what may be 30 years down the line (normal for kids and teens.) I wonder if appropriate nutrition, strength training, rest, etc had been taught then, if many of us would not be in the physical condition we are now. (Relative to this video…Medvedeva can’t even turn her body off ice in one direction, and she’s what…20? Lipnitskia (that amazing Sochi performance!) had to be hospitalized for anorexia…this needs to stop. No medal is worth that…and you don’t have to be physically destroyed to win.)

YOUR VIDEO IS AMMMMMMAZING I LOVE FIGURE SKATING CUZ OF YOU

[@2AirSnake]

I'm in the middle of the video and want clarify about Trusova's "dialing". The more correct translation would be - "gaining" or "picked up speed". This translation misses a lot of additional expressive words and their banter, has some bad errors and their physical and facial expressions change some meaning and suggest emphasis on other thing. So my point this is very dry and abrupt source (probably made from YT autosubs which are very bad at recognizing russian) and I would love to see what you would say, and draw parallels to, if there going to be some one willing to make subtitles to this thing.

[@2AirSnake]

Finished video and i am supersized they didn't translate (or you not did not spotlight) her whole speech about parents and how they have to behave, her examples were - like the way that Zhenya's grandma was "dancing" around the ring and argued with her to push trough, or if Alina didn't do smth her grandma would show her (Eteri made sweeping motion with her fist). And the beginning where she talks about her start was very interesting too, like she was offended when almost all her promising junior skaters that she brought to their first medals were "stolen" from her by CSKA and Mishin (she blames Rus federation for that not Mishin personally) when she was rising junior coach. And later that Zhenya Medvedeva was thrown out by CSKA she took her without even looking at her abilities because Svetlana Kandyba from CSKA called and asked to take her, she adds that she would take her even if Zhenya was a 0.

I don't do competitive basketball anymore, and I just did normal levels at school, never even coming close to a championship, but my coaches have always been super careful when people had even the slightest injuries. In the 2022 season I was coming back from some inflammation of the bones in my feet and they were always looking out for me, controlling the minutes I was in the game and making sure everything was fine during warmup so I wouldn't reinjure myself, even if I was co-captain of the team. So at least in my experience this definitely isn't normal, but obviously I was nowhere near elite. But I can definitely ask my cousin who swims for the city's team and is aiming for eventual national and Olympic competition because that will probably be a lot more comparable.

BUT I've spent 6 years in therapy and love myself unconditionally now. which, i guess, wasn't the case when i danced on injured feet. so, this might be the reason for the girls in the olimpic team to carry on - they very well know that there's another less injured and more willing to work on injuries girl waiting for the spot you're holding right now.
