Team Tutberidze & Kamila Valieva relive their scandal; A Russian Test Skates Review

[@paolala]

Hi guys! YESS I HEARD THAT SASHA LEFT ETERI!!! But I will have to discuss in the next video because this one was uploaded yesterday 😅This is a Russian Test Skates review and please know there is ⚠FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING⚠ on this video since the production for Russian test skates used a lot of strobe lights.

Poor Paola, something crazy always happens right when you finish a video. I'm waiting for your reaction!

[@Ardit-kq4bt]

no surprise on here tbh. It was expected. Trusova does not have any interest in competing again since Russia is banned internationally . We all saw that she was out of shape at test skates and plus the program that Tutberize gave to her was horrible on so many levels. My prediction is that we wont see Trusova in competitions anymore

[@Stressed_Geologist]

@@Ardit-kq4bt I think you're wrong on every count. She seems as if she does still want to compete (otherwise why not retire instead of going through the whole process of changing coaches). She is not out of shape, in fact I thought she looked fantastic at test skates. She looks like a normal 18-year-old who is maturing both physically and as a performer. Also, she had a shirt showing her midriff at test skates and she literally has a flat/toned stomach. Everyone saying she's fat is just contributing to the prevalence of eating disorders in figure skating. She isn't a child anymore, I don't know why people expect her to look like she did at 13. And her test skates program is a matter of opinion, but personally I loved it. I thought she brought a degree of sass and even sexuality that we haven't seen from her when she was younger (of course, that would have been inappropriate, but my point is that she's growing up and experimenting with a new style), and more importantly she looked relaxed and like she was having fun. She had a very impressive 2A and cantilever even with her back injury.

[@AmyLee-ns3uj]

@@Stressed_Geologist exactly. she looked fantastic and performed exceptionally well for someone with back injury. People please stop calling skaters fat (trusova, valieva etc). Anorexia is already prevalent in skating world, we dont need more unhealthy, unhappy skaters

[@MsJubjubbird]

It depends on how much pressure the federation puts on her. THey could cut all of her finding if she doesn't go back. But as she is older and passed the Eteri used by date they might not care, like they didn't care with Julia when she moved- although they did care with Evgenia, even when she was older.

Some notes 1) Trusova really was not performing on a second day because of her back ( it was hurting) 2) she leaves Eteri because of her enormous training and between lines blames her for her back injury because of the training process 3) the whole thing seems logical because in Moscow not so many training camps and she already hs been in Evegeniy camp + it required for her moving to it and live without her family and dogs, so the only option for her was to move to CSKA 4) Mark Kondratiuk is training there and Sofia Samodelkina, the Sokolovskaya team seems nice on video and she was there many times because of Mark mostly 5) the plot twist is that the official transfer window was in May and right now she cannot change the camp on docs 6) yesterday she brought to the federation the pack of docs signed of all parties but the federation said that she will be performing under Eteri’s camp the following season, but she will be training in the CSKA and Sokolovskaya’s team 7) exactly Kostornaya’s situation in the 2020

Poor child, I have no doubt that to have such amount of talent and will power, she has a connection to her soul and truth. At the same time team Tutberidze is so diabolical, manipulative and abusive, that she must be constantly living in a state of inner struggle. Even the choice to turn her Olympic experience into ruzzian propaganda against the west is part of eteri's manipulation, use and abuse of her skaters.

[@mintchocolatelove]

Thank you for letting me know

[@elliewillow4556]

I’m Russian but live in America. I did figure skating and ballet. I was home schooled so that way I could train more. I had skating from 5am-11. And ballet from 1-4. And then back to skating from 6-10. When you are training at an elite level it takes all of your time, sometimes I didn’t eat or sleep for days. When I did something correctly I was praised and when I did it bad I was reprimanded. They would humiliate you infront of everyone. We were weighed daily. They had our weights on a board for everyone to see. It was very into Russian beauty standards (I trained at a Russian rink and ballet school). They wanted us to be as thin as paper with beautiful lines and technique. I was blonde and fair as snow so I was praised while some others with dark hair and tan with some fat on them were unlikely to get a compliment. Our coaches were very strict wanting us to be 80-90 pounds while looking beautiful and have good lines. It gave me an eating disorder that took over 5 years to manage and get better. I have confidence issues and a lack of self esteem while being a profectionist. I have nightmares of my coaches and competing. It permanently messes you up. Being Russian and going to a Russian rink in America where people would be racist and talk horrible about us. Other kids in the area were not allowed to play with us. I hope the skating world changes but I don’t think it will.

I thought Kamila had a beautiful FS, and it captures the emotions of a young girl’s mental state through the controversy. But I do agree they’re trying to twist it and convince her it’s because of the western media. We haven’t heard the results of the investigation as of yet, but from what I’ve heard they have sufficient evidence of doping. It’s so sad that the adults in her life failed her.

[@notyourbusiness8519]

I think it would be different if she had left eteri and choreographed this with another coach. Preferably while she isn't under i investigation for doping anymore. But the whole "I am such a victim" vibe while continuing to associate yourself with the same people who have done it to you is just not right.

I feel so sorry for her and I am so mad at the people around her because they possibly destroyed incredible talent. I cannot imagine this girl will be banned from competition. But cheating is cheating.

[@letstalkaboutit3195]

Also I think the world of figure skating is just quite toxic in general. The inside world of figure skating is one of the darkest and least controlled inside the world of sports in my opinion. But this is not only in Russia. Only in the past year Papadakis has talked about the lack of support inside the teams while going through very hard times, the misogyny, we have had cases of sexual abuse, and many skaters talk about their struggles with eating disorders (all of this outside of Russia). Of course in Russia this world of figure skating is no less problematic, but you talk about these problems as if they were only in Russia. As if skaters haven’t had to retired from injuries at a VERY young age from every country, etc, etc

[@sharoxx1894]

When you say she, your talking about a 15/16 year old, i agree with you 100% but just make sure you target your anger at the right people… which is everyone who is enabling this environment and allowing this to happen. In a way she is a victim, not because of the media outbursts, i mean she was caught doping so no, so no one can really blame the media for wanting to talk to her.. but, she is a victim of the system that had allowed her to, and probably encouraged her to dope!!! I feel bad of what she had to go through because i fully believe this wasn’t her choice. The adults who are responsible for her have failed her and again are failing her with having her perform her worse trauma in a program!!!

[@sharoxx1894]

I mean, thats my opinion on the situation. Because another thing i keep thinking is what if kamila truly was the one to request the drug (which i honestly think is unlikely) but assuming she did… how would she have had access to it in the first place again she’s a minor, so someone was definitely responsible for stoping this literal child for making this mistake yk.. idk, honestly it feels like a stretch to me that she could have been the one to fully try to dope on her own without someone on her team or even family allowing her to do so… so bottom line it sucks, she shouldn’t have competed because its only fair that she doesn’t and but dont blame her though

@@mariaritapieraccini3501 unfounded? Theres an investigation going on. If its unfounded, it wouldnt even happen. Let’s be real, kamila and the coaches didnt wanna test sample B because they know the results would be positive. Why? Because there are drugs in her system. So it was unfair for her to compete. They admitted it. Not unfounded at all.

I hate how you talked about Russia. As if it’s the only country where athletes get injured, get ED or are caught for doping. It’s happening all around the world. When Gabriella Papadakis told her story about abortion and being treated poorly you didn’t blame it on French culture or France as a country. But here it’s always Russian culture or “Russian nationalism”. Also athletes are not responsible for the war. Putin didn’t ask them

[@Tenorboy29307]

Test skates made me sad. I felt like so many skaters seemed to really be struggling. Of course, the men, but also Eteri’s kids all seem to be holding on by a thread. It was such stark contrast from last year’s test skates for me even with pretty packaging. After last year’s test skates, I was sure they would dominate. Heartbreaking when the quad queen cannot only not do a quad, but seems to barely be able to do a triple. 😢

This is so sad. With my whole heart, I feel for this kid. She's been traumatized, abused, and misled to believe that the adults who she trusts steer her in the right direction are guilt-free and have her best interests in mind. No, they don't care about her, they care about their own reputations. It's disgusting. I love Kamila and it sucks that any of this even happened in the first place. I wish she could see how the adults she trusts have betrayed her.

[@Clover_008]

Does anyone know when people will get their medals? Or do they have to finish up more with investigations and what not?

[@memyselfandi4173]

Kamila didn't look happy while performing that free skate. Maybe she wasn't supposed to, to stay in character, but she didn't look happy when it was over, either, when she would've been free to break character. She just doesn't seem to be enjoying her sport. I could be wrong, of course, but I get the sense that she feels trapped, and I feel awful for her. I'll feel worse still when her body breaks, as happens with all the Eteri girls. It's for this reason that, for all their very obvious talent that I don't deny at all, I ignored the Eteri skaters, at least the "women," even when Russia wasn't banned. Sure, they inevitably won, usually going 1-2-3....but not in my mind. Whoever was fourth "won," as far as I was concerned, because I can't condone training kids without a care about their health, mental and physical, in a "win at all costs" mentality so that the athletes can then be used to foster fanatical nationalism. I can't watch Eteri girls and not think about broken bodies, however beautifully they skate. Having serious hip, knee, back, etc. injuries/surgery in one's late teens, when bones and joints are still developing and calcifying and are therefore more flexible and somewhat more resistant to injury, means that severe damage has already been done. Even without any doping, this training without regard for health should not be condoned. For this reason, the last World Championships were a breath of fresh air, in my mind, if only because there was some actual tension regarding who would win instead of just which fairly interchangeable Eteri girl would win. I only wish the Chinese skaters had been there.

[@TheStarflight41]

She was unhappy. No question.

[@TheStarflight41]

Tragic exploitation of a gaslit 16-year-old.... make her cry again so Eteri can show her compassion and give her a warm embrace unlike the Olympics where a broken child was met with a cold shoulder and scolded. A grotesque theatrical debacle designed to rehabilitate Eteri's image. An unrecognizable Kamila is gasping for air... completely spent after the macabre program... and clearly shaken in her interview. She should follow Trusova's smart decision to move to a different coach. Adults repeatedly fail Valieva...

[@cometasporelcielo]

I LOVE your channel! Your analysis is spot-on. Do you think Camila was ordered to throw her skate at the olympics so that Trusova and Scherbakova could take higher medals?

[@bridgetbinion8494]

I personally don't think Eteri herself told her to do it, because of her anger and how she berated Kamila. I bet the Russian Skating Federation gave Kamila a few suggestions.

[@alyonam]

I'm really sorry, but are coaches anyhow allowed to the mixed zone press line? I'm not a Tutberidze fan at all (and the whole situation is driving me absolutely mad), but HOW could they accompany Kamila through the media in Beijing? As far as I remember, in the later training days she was accompanied either by a doctor or by an official who are permitted for this (but not a coaching team). And yes, there were absolutely no speculations about Boikova-Kozlovsky silent retirement or smith of that kind. They even didn't leave Tamara Moskvina, although it was more than expected.

[@letstalkaboutit3195]

I admit I don’t like how team Tut is trying to clean their hands from the narrative with Kamila’s free program. But there is also a part of the program that I see as a critic to the press for exploiting these news and not respecting the privacy of a 15 year old. Also the fact that they weren’t able to keep the identity of the doper in secret (because she is too young) to prevent this exposure. I mean there have been numerous doping scandals that haven’t been talked about in public or in the mass media until the child in question was older (for example Simone Biles). Also just as a fact the voiceovers weren’t only in English. They were in English and in Russian

[@KamilaValieva-fan]

this program reflects Kamila’s experience in Beijing Winter Olympics. She has every right to express her suffering from media exploitation and bullying. WADA delayed 44 days for the tests and didn’t release it until Russia won the group gold medal, UK media leaked her name, which supposed under protection according to international law. Shameless child abusers like you are even dare to condemn her just because she delivered this program.

[@rrgElias011]

Kamila's program is amazing . Do you prefer her to be infront of audience and pretending smiling? She is here to show us what she felt, you are supposed to feel but not to judge and continue bullying. As Kamila said I need to live it again again in order to release the pain. Did you hear? She is living with pain which she want to release.
