Ekaterina Rubleva, coach of Russian junior ice dance champions Anna Shcherbakova and Yegor Goncharov, said that after the end of her career, she and Ivan Shefer did not want to stay in the team of Irina Zhuk and Alexander Svinin, because they piled up on the same ice.
– We were extremely grateful to our coaches for the opportunity to start working under their wing, and in fact for everything they gave us in the sport. In the same way, I will always be grateful to Elena Kustarova and Svetlana Alekseeva, where Ivan and I skated before moving on to Pork and Zhuk. Thanks to them, we learned a lot in dance.
After the end of our own career, by the way, we accepted the offer of Ira and Sasha to stay in the team and work with very small pairs, we very much appreciated this work, but we got ourselves quickly found cramped on the same ice. There were some clean ideas that are not always possible to implement, working under the guidance of more experienced professionals. There was also a financial aspect. By then, Ivan had already had a child, he had to support his family, and you will not earn much with a small group. Therefore, we sat down with our coaches, talked and made a decision, – said Rubleva RT.
