Italian figure skater Daniel Grassl spoke about the pressure due to working with Russian coach Eteri Tutberidze. His words are quoted by Sports.ru.
“I knew it was going to be hard for me because I feel all this pressure, even condemnation of my decision to change the place of training. It hurts me a lot to hear all this, but I’m still glad that I made this decision, ”said the 20-year-old athlete. He stressed that he did not know where he would continue to train.
At the 2023 European Championships, Grassl finished sixth with 230.83 points. The winner was the Frenchman Adam Xiao Him Fa with 267.77 points.
In January, it became known that Grassl would be preparing for the European Championship in the Tutberidze group. It was noted that he is interested in cooperating with the coach on an ongoing basis, but at the moment the parties have not reached a final agreement. The head of the Italian Ice Sports Federation Andrea Gios called the decision excellent.
Grassl is the silver medalist of the European Championship 2022. He also won the 2022 British Grand Prix and the Italian Grand Prix bronze.
