15-year-old Kami³a Walijewa won gold in the team competition in Beijing. After the competition it turned out, however, that in December she had a positive anti-doping test result and her case will be investigated after the Olympics. Nevertheless, the arbitral tribunal allowed her to continue competitions. Now the facts about the controversial coach of the player, Eteri Tutberidze, are also coming to light.
Olympic Games. Eteri Tutberidze is the “executioner”. He doesn’t care about their health
The German “Bild” gives shocking information about Eteri Tutberidze, known as the “Iron Lady”. The journalists of the newspaper write that the Russian trainer is brutal and ruthless, but also exceptionally effective. Apparently, she is supposed to torment her charges with training, who in the community are called “Eteri Girls”, because they almost always win. “” With her long blonde hair, she looks like an angel, but there is a devil in her, “we read.

There is a widespread belief that without the discipline she introduced, all successes would remain only in the sphere of dreams. The fragment about Tutberiga’s downplaying the health of his charges in the pursuit of success is extremely shocking. “What she almost always pushes to the background is health” – we read in “Bilda”.
“We didn’t even drink water. We just rinse our mouth out.”
The same source claims that the reports of athletes training under the watchful eye of Eteri Tutberidze are scandalous. “Bild” points out that the trainer is very demanding. He always says what he thinks and doesn’t stick around with his pupils.
– The diet was very limited. We didn’t even drink any water. We just rinse our mouth out and spit it out – said Alina Zagitowa, Olympic champion from 2018. A year later, just a 16-year-old ice skater, who in Pyongchang presented one of the best performances in the history of figure skating, decided to suspend her career due to lack of motivation.
Even more shocking information is provided by the American website slate.com, which writes about the measures taken by “Eteri Girls”. – They are doing everything they can to delay puberty by eating only powdered nutrients or by taking Lupron, a maturation blocker known to induce menopause. They are subjected to daily public weighing and verbal and physical violence – we can read on the website of the portal.
Tutberidze likes to work with young players. Each year a new, younger ice skater appears on the scene, while others retire at the age of 17, 16 and even 14. Fans call it “Eteri Expiration Date”. Suffice it to recall that the mentioned Zagitowa in Pyeongchang was 15 years old, which is exactly the same age as she is now, and had already (at least for now) abandoned ice skating. Many of the young skaters working with the Tutberidze often don’t even last up to 20. .
