Athletistic/Figure skating. Honored figure skating coach of Russia Eteri Tutberidze spoke about figure skater Alexandra Trusova and her conflict with former mentor Evgeni Plushenko.

“Sashka came, as usual, with a guilty look, looking away a little, running around while she couldn’t look in your direction. She said: “I don’t know, I’m just kind of I’m kind of tired of everything, I need a change of scenery.” I asked, “So you’re just sick of us?” – “Well, yes.”

I already realized at the World Championships that she would return, because when a person begins not to run away from the gaze, but on the contrary to seek it, that already says something. She had already started going for this look. She behaved very rudely towards her trainer Plushenko, because she was running away from him and he was running after her – as if he was with her. But she didn’t want to be with him, so she warmed up and got ready. She went out onto the ice and didn’t even approach him. After practice, she just grabbed her things and left. It wasn’t unethical, but it was obvious. I realized that there was an obvious conflict between them, some tension was felt,” Tutberidze said in an interview on the YouTube channel “Comment.Show”.
