Russia's renowned figure-skating coach Eteri Tutberidze has opened up about her personal pain during the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics, splitting with skate star Evgenia Medvedeva just after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. The coach, who guided several Russian skaters to world prominence, published a lengthy post on Instagram detailing the ordeals she went through right after Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva won Winter Olympic medals in South Korea. The 45-year-old said that she couldn't savor the moment of happiness after two of her skaters stood on the Olympic podium, as she was fully focused on her mother who has been diagnosed with brain cancer just before the 2018 PyeongChang Games. "The day I went to Japan to hold a pre-Olympic training camp, my mom had a stroke which caused partial paralysis. Later it was discovered that she had brain cancer," Tutberidze wrote. She went on: "I remember all that happened to me as in a fog. My daughter lived at school in order to avoid staying alone at home. My mom was in hospital in critical condition. My daughter, who was left alone in Moscow, cried every time we talked by phone. My mother fought for her life against the frightening disease." Tutberidze said that pain was the only thing she felt after the triumphant performance at the Winter Games, regretting that her mother was not able to enjoy the success. "Then there was the Olympics, medals, award ceremony. People looked into my eyes while congratulating me, trying to find happiness there. But there was no happiness. There was just pain. "My father died six months before the Sochi Olympics, my mother was not able to realize what we did at the Olympics and feel happy for me," she wrote. Eteri Tutberidze, Honored Coach of Russia, talks about uniforms and adult figure skating and sports activities, about the difference in the approach to training in the East and in the West, about her distinguished students and coaching principles, about doping, and about life in America and returning to Russia. Should juniors be allowed to adult competitions? How does stress affect the development of the body? How to bring up champions? "Then there was a weird break-up with several students, one of whom I held up as an example and for whom I did everything I could, dedicating 200 percent of my power out of 100 percent possible. Then followed accusations which honestly didn't make my pain worse," Tutberidze added, recalling a highly publicized split with one of her more talented skaters, Medvedeva.

Russia’s figure skater Alena Kostornaia, who is the winner of the 2020 ISU European Figure Skating Championships in Austria’s Graz, has plans on rejoining with her previous coach Eteri Tutberidze, a source close to the situation told TASS on Wednesday.
"Kostornaia intends to come back to Tutberidze and the talks on the issue were held on Wednesday," the source said.
On July 31, 2020, world’s famous figure skating coach from Russia, Eteri Tutberidze, announced that she had parted ways with her student Alena Kostornaia. The 17-year-old figure skater was reported at that time to join the training school of two-time Olympic Champion Evgeni Plushenko.
Russia’s merited figure skating Coach Tutberidze officially reunites with Medvedeva In addition winning the 2020 ISU European Figure Skating Championships, Kostornaia is also the 2019-20 Grand Prix Final champion, the 2019 Internationaux de France champion, the 2019 NHK Trophy champion and the 2019 CS Finlandia Trophy champion.
The figure skater currently holds the World Records for the highest score in the total (247.59 points) and short (85.45) programs.
On December 4, 202, Alexander Kogan, the director general of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia (FSFR), told TASS that Kostornaia’s test for COVID-19 returned a positive result and the athlete was forced to skip some of the previously scheduled sports tournaments.

If you thought the drama between the Angels of Plushenko and Team Tutberidze was over, you are sadly mistaken. One week after Alena Kostornaia fell from the sky back into Sambo 70, Sofia Titova proclaimed that she was robbed at the Russian Youth Championships like her coach Evgeni Plushenko was at the Vancouver Olympics.
Meanwhile, Arseny Fedotov, Nikolai Kolesnikov, Daria Sadkova, Alisa Dvoeglazova and Lyubov Rubtsova defended the honor of Team Tutberdize. In Korea, the top skaters battled in out in a final tune-up prior to the 2021 World Figure Skating Championships. It was another opportunity to see how Yelim Kim, Haein Lee, Young You, Eunsoo Lim and Junhwan Cha stack up and we were glad to watch. Plus, our take on the latest involving John Zimmerman and Morgan Cipres. We break it all down on the latest edition of 'This and That'.
