MOSCOW, Apr 19 Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya spoke about how to she was treated in the group of the honored coach of Russia Eteri Tutberidze. According to the athlete, the group believed that she had a negative impact on the younger skaters.
"I was never the first number of the group. At first there were some girls, then there were other girls who were younger, but I was never the leader of the group. They always removed small children from me, they simply pushed them away. I don’t know why, but it was believed that I was discouraging the group, corrupting the entire group, and I was told about this repeatedly, allegedly by some of my actions. Maybe. But it’s not that I’m such and such, it’s just that people didn’t have the character to act with their heads. She does this, and I want it that way & # 34;, — quotes the words of Kostornaya & # 34; followed her example. «I do not have a rigid framework. This is how to sleep at 11. I can go to bed at one o'clock. I will not have anything bad from this. And for someone it is bad. In such situations, it was believed that I was corrupting the whole group «Every person should think with his own head. If you are a follower, this is not my problem,» she added.
