Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya left the group of Eteri Tutberidze. The trainer announced this on her Instagram.
Now the athlete will train at the Evgeni Plushenko Academy. Tutberidze herself does not hide her disappointment in what happened. She wrote that the girls “come to us cute, kind, with an open eyes, wanting to achieve results.” Over time, thanks to productive work in a group, they achieve sometimes colossal results.
“And then … It seems that the outside world influences our dear and kind”, – said Tutberidze.
According to Tutberidze, new conditions appear for the continuation of joint work, “like an increase in payment for love.” She remembered how Yulia Lipnitskaya did not want to go on the same ice with Evgenia Medvedeva. Then Medvedev herself refused to skate with Alina Zagitova.
“Now from Alena we have received a whole list of girls non grata. That’s where we parted with her …”, – added the specialist.
At the same time, she again refused to “change something in her training system.” Tutberidze stressed that she is doing everything right.
At the same time, in the comments, Tutberidze said that Kostornaya “went to Plushenko,” which was agreed upon back in May.
