Eteri Tutberidze: “I think Valieva has no more faith in anyone, she has changed”.
Eteri Tutberidze told how Kamila Valieva has changed after the Olympics-2022.
“I think that she has no faith in anyone else, that she has changed on that. And about her being the only one, now the slippers of fans of Lipnitskaya, Medvedeva, Zagitova will fly at me….
First of all, these fan groups… Maybe you should like and respect us. We have created those whom you loved, idolized, adorned some part of your life. Where’s all this hatred coming from? It’s ridiculous.
As for Valieva, she is a versatile athlete. She combines so many things. She skates beautifully, absorbs the court. Kostornaya skates beautifully. It happens, given or not given. It’s genetic. Valieva has sliding, she is naturally stretched, naturally flexible.
Usually stretched and flexible skaters do not jump well. But she has a jump. She mastered triple axel and quadruple. She is beautiful, she feels the music, she can convey emotions. She’s exceptional at that. I don’t know if there will be another athlete like her, maybe there will be others. But I think we have not had such an athlete and probably will not have one.
No matter how someone tries to parody, they won’t be the second Michael Jackson either. There is such an athlete Yuzuru Hanyu. I don’t think there’s going to be one of those either. And Kamila Valieva! The fact that such a huge love jumped into hatred….. Unfortunately,” said Eteri Tutberidze, honored figure skating coach of Russia, on the air of “Comment.Coach” with Leonid Slutsky.
