Eteri is talking shit again....
I hope Sasha really did throw her skate at her head tbh (but she probably didn't, and she's just shit talking 🙄)
Also, please tell us who told them to leave you, we need to know who to stan 🙏
I'm not even gonna speak on what she said about Kamila
Also, I would get tired, too, if I was being emotionally and physically abused by my coach.....

Eteri Tutberidze saw Suspiria (1977) and thought, I too can be the head of a disturbingly horrific satanic occult based dance school run by three witches who weaken and feast on the souls of their female students.

In addition to literally … everything? One of the craziest/saddest things to me about the Russian figure skater girls is that pretty much all of them, past & present, will drop the most disturbingly abusive piece of information about their coaches/skating environment/life as a skater to the point where you’re like “oh, so they must understand that they’re being abused since they’re talking about abusive tactics that they’ve dealt/deal with so openly.” & then you find out, no, they actually don’t know it’s abuse. They don’t see it as the eating disorder that it is, they don’t see it as unhealthy & that just breaks my heart. They think it’s just what you do as an athlete. It’s just something you endure & it makes you tough but it’s literally just abuse. There’s a difference between mental & physical strength from working hard in a healthy environment & abuse.

“definitely wanted to live off her fame and hype” is Andrei a clout chaser? Dude an nhl player, but hockey player aren’t on the same level of fame in America compared to celebs and influencer.
Aside from the fact that NHL thus even its players aren't exactly a hot thing in America due to the league's miserable marketing strategy, especially in comparison with the NBA or NFL (like there are so many people who have no idea who Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews is, you can't expect them to know Andrei Svechnikov...), Andrei isn't even that popular back in Russia, despite being a Russian player in the NHL.
Alina back in 2020 was still a pretty hot thing in the eyes of the Russian public, just like Zhenya Medvedeva who belonged to the same era of Eteri girls. Nowadays, the hype around her isn't that massive cause girls like Valieva, Scherbakova, or Trusova replaced her in the spotlight, but I imagine, Andrei liked the idea of having a famous Russian girlfriend and cutting himself some adoration in his homeland cause as I have said, people aren't exactly simping over him there like many of the Tumblr girls do on here.

This is not a new thought on my physical disability situation.
But my body being like this right now is because of my heavy training in childhood.
This is going to be a long one so, more under the cut.
CW: for brief mentions of anorexia and the Eteri expiration date
I will start by explaining a couple of examples of this with the team Tutberidze.
The team Tutberidze is managerd by Eteri Tutberidze and is mostly known for her olimpic winners, all being trained through their early teen years until they're able to finally get to the olímpics.
Issue is, the way she trains them, notably to do quads, is via starving them (they're not allowed to drink any water or eat anything on competition days as Alina has mentioned before), the main way you can do quads is if you weigh very little.
So she focuses on that, low body weight, and forgoes a lot of strength training that is not needed for that technique. Now, in the early teens everything is okay, issue comes at 16-17.
Yulia Lipnitwkaya, in 2014, was the first in this long line of hers. She did great in her individual olimpic category and went home with gold through the team event.
When she went back to Russia her body started crumbling down, all her skills slowly diminished, her technique became poorer and failed most jumps.
At 19 she retired from competitive skating.
Then there's Evgenia Medvedveva, she went undefeated for two years after junior categories had been fully won. She then went to the olimpics.
She was 17-18 when she went to the olímpics with her teammate Alina Zagitova (being 15 and much less injured). Six months before the olimpics Evgenia fractured her foot, which she still skated on during europeans being beaten by her teammate Alina.
She went to the olímpics still, both skated great, Alina won by 1.31 points and for the first time Evgenia cried in a competition. After 11 years of training under Eteri she went to another team in Canada.
Alina slowly lost her skills at 16 and by 17 announced she was going to take a pause in competitive figure skating. At 19 she left competitive and was hospitalized for three months to battle her anorexia.
Eteri has never been able to train boys into the Olympics (in single category) as far as i know, this plus how all this athletes slowly crumbled down physically after a certain age has created the term "the Eteri Expiration Date" which is 17 years old.
My specific case was similar, artistic/sincronised swimming, competitive training that favored girls of 11-15 and while we trained our strength and all, it was favored to be on that skinny side, not fit, low body weight focus.
My chronic pain started at 15 with my articulations then moved to my back with the scoliosis at 16. By 17 I stopped going to training for personal reasons.
At 18-19 I was also battling with anorexia and semi successfully got out of it on my own, to this day I still have to battle with that way of thinking.
I recently had the chance to talk with one of my old teammates, she basically told me our trainer ignored questions about me when they asked why I wasn't there anymore.
Most importantly, I asked her about the physical side, if she remembered it being LIKE THAT, now, she doesn't have any physical disabilities, but she did leave at 15 a year later (she was younger than me) and did agree that the training was brutal, bruises were common nearly every week, and that our trainer was probably thinking Olympics when training us. Plus, she also went through ED issues.
I'm not sure if this is a few isolated cases or this is a genuine phenomenon at this point, I always second guess myself, so.
If you have had this experience, know someone, have any more info on this, etc. Please comment it.
I won't make a paper or anything but putting a name to it, or maybe there already is one, would help.
If nothing comes of this at least I put it out there, this is half a vent half that reaching out thing honestly.

Good for them. I hope the skates hurt and I hope Zhenya caught the first flight to Canada.
(I'm pretty sure Eteri is making stuff up cause she's a bitch...)

Is it just me or I could totally go without Alina’s storyline?
Like the actress is cute and knows how to act but the storyline is just so… obvious? Dark against light, the light then gets corrupted etcetc.
The crows, on the other hand, offer an amazingly original story, the characters are not boring and are complex. I would be able to watch only the crows storylines tbh.
