Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Alexey Zheleznyakov, choreographer of the group of Honored Coach of Russia Eteri Tutberidze, spoke about the recent statement of Yana Rudkovskaya, the wife of two-time Olympic figure skating champion Evgeni Plushenko.

Earlier, Plushenko said his students might start moving to other teams if the refereeing situation doesn’t change. After that, Zheleznyakov criticized Plushenko for these words, and then his wife defended Evgeny.

“I never want scandals. I say what I think. Where I was wrong, I apologized a long time ago. But let’s ask this question: did what Evgeni Plushenko say about changing nationality of its athletes due to biased refereeing?Unfortunately, when I said something true, it was immediately condemned.

Rudkovskaya spoke harshly about judging at junior figure skating competitions in Russia

There is an expression: the best defense is an attack. I believe that Yana in this case acts in this way. Of course, it is better to attack than Zheleznyakov slander someone, insult someone. But to offend is to say, “You’re an idiot, you bastard” – or something like that. What I said is not an insult. Turns out they can violate ethics, but you can’t tell people anything. Kind of a one-sided game,” RIA Novosti quoted Zheleznyakov as saying.
