Athletistic/Figure Skating. Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Valentin Nikolaev criticized Honored coach of Russia in figure skating Eteri Tutberidze.

Tuktamysheva passed Sadkova of the Tutberidze group after a short program at the Panin-Kolomenkin memorial

“Tutberidze is a tough general manager, she is not a coach of the highest class. Seryozha Dudakov works with her, a very competent technical coach. Eteri has built herself a tough discipline, neither left nor right, c ‘is all .

I don’t like the system she uses. The same system was used by Stanislav Zhuk, the world famous coach, whose percentage of marriages, that is, injured athletes, was unusually high. In front of Tutberidze, as well as once in front of the Zhuk … It seems that in front of them is a reinforced concrete embrasure of a certain size, on which is written “Gold medals of the Olympic Games and World Championships” . And now a body is pushed through this doorway. What falls on this side, they don’t care! It’s not even a mentality, it’s the specificity of the attitude towards sport as a medium.”

Nikolaev lives and works in the United States, has American citizenship. He was the coach of Oksana Baiul and Vyacheslav Zagorodniuk. Before moving to the United States, he lived in Ukraine for a long time.
