The first coach of the Olympic figure skating champion Yulia Lipnitskaya Elena Levkovets was offended by Eteri Tutberidze for the athlete’s transition, but later they reconciled. Levkovets said this in an interview with .
Lipnitskaya worked with Levkovets in Yekaterinburg until 2009. After that, the skater and her parents decided to move to Moscow to work with Tutberidze.
– Was there no resentment for Yulia’s transition to Eteri Georgievna?
– Well, no, there was an insult. I didn’t know Eteri, we didn’t even communicate with her. Then she judged the Russian championship, and Yulia recently moved to Eteri. And they say to me: “Come out, Tutberidze is calling you.” I declined, but went anyway. And Eteri said to me, “Thank you so much, such a wonderful girl! She has nothing to say, she knows everything herself. These were his words.
Under Tutberidze, Lipnitskaya won the gold medal in the team tournament at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.
