Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Olympic diving champion, and now expert Elena Vaitsekhovskaya, spoke about the possible transition of the silver medalist of the Olympic Games-2022 in figure skating Alexandra Trusova from the group of Eteri Tutberidze to coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya. Earlier, RIA Novosti reported that Trusova left the Tutberidze group for the second time in her career.

“About a month and a half ago I wrote: … When Trusova returned to Khrustalny from Plushenko, she returned on her own terms. In other words, it is logical to assume that they l just tolerated, made concessions, realizing that a complex character is a complex character, and five quads are five quads, but will they last now?

Tarasova thinks Trusova left Tutberidze because of Kondratyuk

The question immediately arises: “Why?” After five quads have landed at the OI, any decrease in numbers will be perceived as a step back – that’s how human psychology works. A kind of qualitative leap is capable of saving the situation: in the formulation of the programs, the interpretation, the complexity of the composition. This is a grandiose job that Sasha did not do after the Olympics – it’s pretty obvious. In other words, returning to her usual training, by definition, she will look weaker than she was. And maybe weaker than anyone else.

And what good is it to focus on an athlete with multiple personalities when young, obedient, efficient and much more motivated slip into the crowds? And when there are no serious competitions in the foreseeable future? Not to mention that in order to change the style, image and impression of Trusova, perhaps other coaching hands, a different approach and a different attitude towards her own career are generally needed … “

Now I don’t even know how to react. Whether to congratulate Sokolovskaya (from the point of view of a professional coaching career, the arrival of an athlete of this rank is of course a big plus), or to express his condolences… In any case, good luck to both of them!” Vaitsekhovskaya wrote in her telegram channel.
