– About Lipnitskaya. We saw her practice on the ice at your academy. How do you judge her as a coach?

– I believe that Yulia Lipnitskaya is a new Eteri Tutberidze . Yulia is the strictest coach in our academy. She is a fan of figure skating, she is on the ice from morning to night, gnaws this ice with her students, takes them to the starts. We communicate with her often. Julia says she likes coaching very much, she wants to become a coach at the highest level. Yulia learns a lot, somewhere she consults Evgeni Plushenko, they communicate very well, with respect. Together they won the team tournament at the Olympic Games in Sochi, and now she is with us at the academy.

Yulia Lipnitskaya has an only boy, he comes from an orphanage. The boy’s mother (now Fedya is growing up in a foster family) brought him to us when no one took him to a sports school. Fedya without three fingers on both hands. Eugene saw it and said he would come up! We took it. His older brother Ilya also studies with us. Yulia and Vlad have been training Fedya for two years already, we are proud of Fedya! At the “Battle of the Schools” he has now taken first place. When he received medals, everyone saw that he was missing several fingers. I was told that all the judges only learned about it at the presentation. And we are proud of Fedya. Nobody in the world has such a unique boy, but we do, and he is a student of Yulia Lipnitskaya, she took him to the “battle of schools”. The more I look at Yulia, the more I understand that she has a very bright future as a coach. And I rarely make mistakes.

In addition to Julia, and Lena Ilinykh always with us as our guardian angel, and Lena Radionova . We have such a family coaching staff. In general, I also believe a lot in Lena Radionova. She does a lot for us, works with our guys, – said Rudkovskaya in an interview with .
