Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Alexei Zheleznyakov, choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze group, commented on the conflict between Elizaveta Nugumanova and coach Evgeny Rukavitsyn.

“I could draw a parallel with another skater. I hate it when they leave and start throwing mud at the coach. I heard a lot about the coaches when I was hired, but it’s emotional, it’s is normal. I would like to notify the skaters if you leave the coach or end your professional career, so just give thanks. And in the end, they start watering, they say something. I’m sure the story is overdone” , said Zheleznyakov.

Nugumanova previously accused Rukavitsyn’s coaching staff of harassment and threats.
