Has anyone mentioned Ravi Walia yet?
I've actually been thinking that Ravi would be one of his best options.

- Sambo70 press doesn't comment transfers of the skaters in off-season period.
Eteri speaks English as she lived and worked in the US as a skater and coach for several years. She would have no problem to converse with skaters in EnglishShoma moving to Russia ... seems unlikely. Sure, Eteri trains Morisi and Elizabet (who represent other countries) - but they are from Moscow and there are no language barriers.
I'm agree. Moreover, Shoma himself said that he will be training with skater(s) of his level.There's a few places he can go I think, but not that many. The switch itself is pretty risky, so he will likely work with known coaches in the international circuit.
Reports in the Russian media in rec...aid only that Sambo doesn't comment anything.
It is untruth. Russian media were said only that Sambo doesn't comment anything.

This article by Jack Gallagher confirms that 2 months ago, when he said he had information about a famous Japanese skater moving to Eteri, he meant Shoma Uno.
"Ice Time learned two months ago about three-time Japan champion Uno possibly joining Tutberidze. Reports in the Russian media in recent weeks have also confirmed that Uno’s camp has talked with Tutberidze’s people."
Of course, he may be really shopping for a team yet, so it is yet very unclear what the final decision will be. What an unexpected development! It is really difficult to imagine Shoma training outside of Japan, but I hope it works for him.
I find Eteri a very strange choice for him, but if it's true, it'll be VERY interesting to see how things develop. What's also strange to me in general is that it looks like he hasn't decided on where to go yet. Why leave your old coach if you don't know whether you'll get a better option yet?

The number one thing I associate with Eteri's camp is consistency. The second thing I associate is jump difficulty. The third thing I associate is tons of transitions (whether useful or just thrown in there to have them). The first two things Shoma needs to bring back in order to be a contender for the top of the podium again, and he could use a greater variety of transitions in his programs too. While other environments might be "nicer" and develop his overall skating better and produce better programs, Tutberidze practically forces you to be a contender come hell or high water. Like the first conversation will be - let's get that 3A+4T... along with your 4F, 4S... and we are bringing back your 4L. I'd kinda fear for Shoma getting worn out in camp Tutberidze but it might sharpen his competitiveness and yield better results.
