MOSCOW, April 11 2020 European figure skating champion Alena Kostornaya in an interview with Sport-Express revealed the details of leaving coach Eteri Tutberidze. According to the 18-year-old athlete, there is nothing scandalous in her transition to Elena Buyanova's group. «The situation remained between me and Eteri Georgievna and the coaching staff. If we broke up, then we came to a mutual decision. It's not like I annoyed someone, but they told me — get out of here! But at the same time, it wasn’t me who told the coaches: «You know, you are such and such, I will not work with you» No, of course. I believe that both athletes deserve respect and coaches. Because it was teamwork, collective work, «the figure skater explained the situation.
