“There is nothing to investigate here.” The choreographer of the Tutberidze group on Nugumanova’s accusations against her coach

Eteri Tutberidze group choreographer Alexei Zheleznyakov told he sees no point in investigating the figure skater’s accusations Elisabeth Nugumanova to his trainer Evgeny Rukavitsyn.

Earlier, Nugumanova gave an interview to , in which she accused Rukavitsyn of systematic accusations of overweight, intimidation and threats. The head of the St. Petersburg Figure Skating Federation, Anton Sikharulidze, told RIA Novosti he would speak with the skater and the coach.

– I can draw parallels with another skater in this situation – I can’t stand you leaving your coach and starting throwing mud at him. When I was studying myself, I heard a lot of things in my speech – real and unreal things. And the coach said something about emotions. But it is okay.

What would you advise all skaters: when you end your career or leave the coach, thank him. Say thank you for the amount of soul and time that has gone into blinding you. But in the end they leave and start watering, telling something … I’m sure this story is exaggerated, because someone, but Rukavitsyn, was definitely not seen in such stories.

Coaches always boost an athlete if they see prospects. And if they don’t see, they keep quiet. Unfortunately, almost all skaters perceive this behavior of the coach with resentment, but in fact you need to delve into yourself, as I then told Alena Kostornaya in an interview. You have to watch what you, the athlete, are doing wrong.

You know, I have a lot of students who have become coaches. And only now are they beginning to understand everything. And they behave exactly the same way we coaches behaved one-on-one. Because they realized that otherwise it doesn’t work.

“Maybe we need to investigate?”

– What is there to investigate?

– The story spread in the public space, and it can have two developments – either the skater was really humiliated, or the coach was slandered. Isn’t it worth checking out?

– I do not think so. It seems to me that this story is exaggerated by Lisa, and she described everything in color. So what is there to investigate? You have to speak frankly with the coach, know what he has to say. And why check? The figure skater has been feeding on the ideas of these coaches for so many years, and then all of a sudden you have to give such a compromising interview … She took it and shaved it off in the media. I think this is not normal. And there is nothing to investigate.
