So I was in the middle of editing this video when the Kostornaia transfer rumours started coming out. I comment about it at the end of the video which was a spontaneous add on. From what I understand it is confirmed that her and eteri have talked but the official decision is unknown. It is all in tutberidze’s hands if she will be able to return. The transfer games have officially begun!

[@zhuangjin1076]

Hi I have a question. Why is Anna going to worlds? She is my favorite skater but I can’t exactly wrap my head around this. Is it because she won the Russian Nationals? Also I am on my dads account so my icon looks different.

Elizaveta Tutkamysheva is by no means a recent success. She is a 2015 World Champion, 2014 GPF champion and 2015 European champion. She has won several other medals, but 2014-2015 was her season.

One note - it was always like this. It's just that there was no Internet around. But there were massive scandals before - like Yagudin vs Plushenko with Yagudin changing the coach, with coaches changing the country etc. It was highlighted in the press and on TV. +another fun fact. Skaters from Mishin are called the Petersburgh's mafia sometimes XD There is some strange scoring under the question that's why.

[@Hithere-dl2cx]

So Russia FS has always been this drama? 😲😲

[@celestebivin1659]

Yagudin was always my favorite. I thought he was the better skater.

[@themovieonyoureyelids]

I wasn't really into the Ladies category, not because I don't think they are amazing, but there is so much happening all the time and it's difficult to follow up with the heaps of new skaters every season, while men's has been more "predictable" (but in no way boring!), so it's easier to keep up. But thanks to the pandemic and the very informative videos on this channel I've been able to focus on the beautiful train wreck that is the russian ladie's category and now I LIVE for this drama 🍿

[@user-gg9uu9kx9w]

watch pairs! i only just got into it this season but it's so underappreciated and the top pairs tend to stick around for a long time unlike the ladies

[@themovieonyoureyelids]

@@user-gg9uu9kx9w it's funny because I got into figure skating because of ice dance, Tessa and Scott more precisely, but I've never payed much attention to pairs and I really can't tell why I'm sleeping on this category, lmao. I'll definitely try to catch up until worlds.

[@malhalsey4994]

6:32 your comment about doubting whether being taught by your parent is a good idea: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. A couple examples I know where parent coaching has been successful/semi successful: Yuma Kagiyama of Japan is taught by his father. He has shown some stellar domestic and international results so far. And then there is Maxim Naumov of the US, who is taught by both of his parents (father teaches technical skills and mother choreographs, I think?) and he has performed and placed well on some occasions both domestically and internationally as well during his junior career. There are probably other examples I don't know of off the top of my head. But like you said, we'll just have to wait and see whether the Zhilinas will improve under their mother's coaching or not.

[@meitaslonimski6807]

Your Russian is so good! I'm Russian and I appreciate the work u do. Everything in the video is so accurate, explanation is so freaking full and complex wow. Not many Russian fans know the drama like you do, that's it. Keep going, the content you do is mind-blowing A little thing to note: Maiia Khromykh (pronunciation is like Hromyh, where H letter sounds like in hello, heavy, high etc.) And there are very few little mistakes, but who actually cares😅

[@yohanes2034]

Uggh I don't like the focus on coaches and schools. I've never seen in other sports where the coaches and schools of where the athletes trained are more famous than the athletes themselves. This is not healthy because 1) the silly competition between schools and bashing when 1 athlete leaves 1 school to other and 2) it shows that the athlete itself is less important than the school. This also drives the image of "factory model" where when 1 athlete expire and no longer competitive, there will be the next one to take the place. It's so uncomfortable to see this "model" happening in figure skating in Russia. If this continues, you won't have a Yuna, a Mao, or a Kostner because no athletes can make their name due to how short their career while the schools continue to take the glory of winning medals from their disposable athletes.

[@lindatannock]

I literally couldn't agree more! The skaters are treated like a commodity. The focus should be on the skaters, not the coach. Respect is earned, not demanded. I respect Mishin as a coach so much. His reputation goes before him. He quietly works away in the background, producing champion upon champion, and he's not interested in being in the limelight (in my opinion). All this in-fighting is ridiculous, and it takes away from the skaters achievements. They need to just grow up and do their jobs, instead of behaving like 10 year olds! 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

[@yohanes2034]

I just don't like the drama and the treatment that the athletes get. Athletes leave coaches all the time due to incompatibility, training environment changes, logistic issues, etc. No need to call it as betrayal, ungrateful, etc. and many fans start to do this as well, seeing the school as something they need to support blindly. Being a coach in my opinion is to be proud of the achievements of your pupils and as you said let the athletes in the limelight (I love Mishin too!). If they leave you due to some reasons then say good bye and good luck (I'm becoming too specific here but whatever lol)

[@glow15]

I couldn't have said it better. It's crazy how people mention the schools more (especially on social media) than the skaters. And the drama it all creates

[@yamrector2]

Agree 100%

[@user-wh8ws4zo8g]

sorry, I understand your feelings, but for the Russian audience - exactly the opposite - it's nice to know that our team has a "margin of safety": firstly, if one athlete has problems, there will always be a replacement for him, and we will have someone to rely on at international tournaments. secondly, domestic Russian competitions may be more interesting than international ones, for example, the recent Channel One Cup, if suddenly someone did not look, I recommend the full version with an English-language comment: SP: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqLIoYdunsxkjdE FS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHbWZ6t4gNiljtU Begining (only in russian): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIfConeBaJh2i7c I have not seen such emotions and have not experienced myself at any other tournament. as somebody wrote in our social networks, "while the whole World is in quarantine, Russia entertains itself, and this turns out to be more exciting than World championships" :-) by the way, the peculiarity of the Russian mentality is collectivism, so the guys and girls gave their all for the team more than 100%, and the teams supported their partners regardless of who was which coaching camp from. so no need to exaggerate the "drama" in Russian figure skating, and the "enmity" between the "camps" ;-)

[@michaelcunningham795]

Very good video Paola. If you can keep up with more rational and informative work like this, you will win me over. This is the kind of posting that adds value to the community. Glad you have restrained the usual over the top vitriolic sniping directed at Queen Tut. This one was balanced and informative, and aligns well with my knowledge base, not that you should even care about that. Good work. Personal observation on the soap opera drama development: headstrong skaters like Sasha and Alena can get full of themselves and set on a course of overachievement. Sasha has always tried to pack too much into her programs without balance. Alena had gotten too big for her britches demanding too much attention and special consideration at Team Tut. Everyone knows that is a no go with Eteri. Sasha left, for reasons that included Alena’s demand for attention and Anna’s deserved favorite child status (longest with the team and still the shiniest penny in the purse). When Alena didn’t get her way and followed Sasha to Plush, their conflict continued. Team Plush is a mess because Evgeni is ill equipped to deal with the squabbles he had on his hands. He was a squabbler himself for his whole competitive career, e.g. with Yagudin while they both trained under Mishin, forcing Alexei to move out for his own sanity. And to everyone else whining about Eteri’s ‘damaging training methods.’ Get real. Her #1 priority does happen to be development of potential. That’s why the club attracts the talent that it does. Longevity is secondary, but still a factor. It’s a high impact sport where the participants perform on rock hard ice, their center of gravity 3” above normal, with knives on their boots. It’s not a pillow fight - skaters are going to suffer micro injuries to bone and soft tissue every time they compete or train on ice. As long as it’s managed well, they get stronger and more skilled. Often damage gets detected later than would be best. It’s the nature of the sport. It’s just a dangerous one. But these kids are going to skate no matter what, risking injury in an arena or going through the ice on a lake - it’s in their blood to fly on ice. There will be injuries, no matter what. All coaches utilize training harnesses and dry land strength and coordination training to mitigate the forces and stresses the body must absorb and deal with. The overachievers are more at risk. They happen to flock to Eteri’s camp, and have for a while. Connect the dots. The athletes in Club Tut aren’t anorexic. That is a condition - a psychological induced metabolic disease. Victims of anorexia can’t do the things these young ladies do, so please stop playing that tune. Some adolescents just are thin. Anna, case in point, is beginning to fill out just now. Kamila is a beast, stronger than Sasha even though she is two years younger. Let the girls skate. Stop trying to make them over into what you want for them. It’s boring and tiresome. Enjoy their gifts.

[@indysk8r32]

I hope I’m wrong because I don’t know where else she’d go right now, but I just have a funny feeling Kostornaia will not be taken back in by Tutberidze. Again, I could be very wrong bc I know Aliona’s uncle is the President of the Sambo-70, but it would just serve to create that much more drama and intrigue and cement Tutberidze’s control over the scene that much more if they do not accept her back in- I think if Aliona had her triple axel back and was on an upward trajectory that might change things, but she just has not had anything good going for her (jumps-wise) lately. And that is NOT a personal dig at Aliona- I know she’s been sick and injured but the timing is just terrible.

To be honest I am not to surprised, Alena (no offence) ( if it is even true) wants to move back to team Tutberidze, because she did not actually skate as well as she usually would, and she did not seem so happy about her programmes, so yes I think the rumours are true, I am just not so sure.🙂💜😉

They are 68/69 European Champs and 68/69 Worlds silver medalists 3rd is Evgeni Plushenko, 05/06 Olympics Champ, 13/14 Oympics Champ (team event), 2 times Olympics silver medalist, many times Worlds Champ and medalist and so on so on. In one word a legend of men's single skating, he was like Nathan Chan or Yuzuru Hanyu of its time. He decided to become a Great Coach and began by luring Tutberidze's skaters. Also his wife is Yana Rudkovskaya, famous producer and business woman in Russia. Ppl don't like her because of useless hype she makes

No wonder Soviet Union colapsed, due to the russian drama

[@kathieprater2431]

All Russian coaches seem to be cruel to their skaters. I feel sorry for them.

[@elisamariamercadofernandez3117]

And there we have it, another skater going back to team Tutberitze, WITH AN INJURY caused by the methods of team Tutberitze :/ I hope Eteri doesn’t take her back, for her own wellbeing.

[@elizabethfilippovich3252]

Which injury and why was it caused by team Tutberidze?

[@oyinolubayo7079]

@@elizabethfilippovich3252 she has a stress fracture, and back pain. The reason why people say it’s caused by Eteri is cause of the coaching methods Eteri uses. It’s for girls younger, with less body weight and haven’t fully hit puberty yet. When these girls start getting older the Eteri methods start to catch up with them and their body starts to basically “fail” this seems to happen to Eteri’s girls around the time they turn 17.

​@@oyinolubayo7079 can you provide the source for that because I heard Medvedeva left with a broken back told by the haters but it turned iout to be another lie

Adelina didn’t keep getting hate for the judges over-scoring, she got hate for doubling down that she *deserved the gold she got and that she won because she skated better than Yuna Kim*
