Irina Rodnina, a three-time Olympic champion in figure skating, and now a State Duma deputy, spoke about her attitude to the reunion of figure skaters with coach Eteri Tutberidze. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
She noted that she reacted to the returns that had occurred without positive or negative emotions. “I just don’t understand this, and I have doubts about it,” added Rodnina.
The athlete also said that the decision of athletes to change coaches is influenced by their parents. At the same time, Rodnina emphasized that she does not know the intricacies of Tutberidze’s relationship with his charges.
Over the past year, several skaters who had previously left the coach returned to the Tutberidze group. Two-time world champion and Olympic silver medalist Evgenia Medvedeva, European champion Alena Kostornaya and world championship bronze medalist Alexandra Trusova have reunited with the specialist.
