St. PETERSBURG, Oct 3, Dmitry Edigarev. The departure of Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova from coach Eteri Tutberidze is wrong, said Olympic figure skating champion Tatyana Navka. Earlier, a source said that Trusova left Tutberidze for coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya. In the specialist group, the figure skater Mark Kondratyuk is training, who is in a close relationship with the athlete.
"I don’t know what happened there. Maybe it was something serious. In my opinion, this is wrong. She was raised in the group of Eteri Tutberidze, she achieved great results. Trusova already left once, then returned. I want her to be fine. Regarding a possible return, it is better to ask Eteri Georgievna herself & # 34;, — said Navka.
Trusova trained with Tutberidze throughout her junior and a significant part of her adult career. In the 2020/21 season, she studied at the academy of two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko, after which she decided to return to Tutberidze. In addition to the silver of the 2022 Olympic Games, Trusova also has two gold medals at the junior world championships and bronze at the adult world and European championships. Trusova is the first figure skater in history to perform five quadruple jumps in one program.
