Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Former Russian athlete Yolanda Chen shared her opinion on Russia’s honored figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze. Chen once said that she didn’t consider Tutberidze a great coach. She ranked Tchaikovsky and Tarasova in this category.

“Are you ready to buy into that sentence now? So far, yes. Tutberidze is a great coach, but I’m talking about the number of champions. I like that she has a system, even if it’s tough. But to become great, you have to work at this level for many years.

Tarasova, Tchaikovsky, Mishin, Moskvina, Pokrovskaya, Viner, Styrkina, Zagorulko are behemoths. They have been breeding champions for decades. Eteri Georgievna clearly does not fit into this category yet.

Yolanda Chen: ‘Zagitova was released unprepared for the ‘Ice Age’

Eteri Georgievna is an excellent coach, but she has not entered this cohort yet. Another thing is that she is a young woman and everything is still ahead of her.

Another two or three Olympics, and we can start talking about it. I’m sure Tutberidze will fall into this category. But not today,” Chen told Sports.ru.
