American journalist David Lees, in an interview with the Lenta.ru correspondent, spoke about the overestimation of scores for the Russian duet Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin performing in ice dancing.
“I was intrigued when Eteri Tutberidze sent her daughter to the USA to work with Igor Shpilband. I read the comments on my YouTube channel and know the reaction of the Russian press to Medvedeva’s departure to Canada at one time, so I understand how the departure of Davis and Smolkin is an important event, “the journalist noted.

According to Liza, the attitude of the judges largely depends on the coach’s reputation. “I understand why Tutberidze chose this path. Shpilband is a very competent and intelligent coach, he has excellent relationships with judges all over the world. Over the years, he has been able to perform political magic. He is a relatively strong technical trainer, specializing in support, ”the American emphasized.
In November 2021, Liz revealed the scheme of overestimating Tutberidze’s daughter after the duo won the Warsaw Cup. The journalist noted that the couple shows not too difficult content, but their coaches are excellent strategists.
