Alexandra Trusova switching from Tutberidze to Plushenko

I was really shocked at first. But it makes sense if you think about it. She's definitely the number three at Sambo. Alëna and Anna have been beating her quite handily. It makes sense that she'd want to shake things up. Wishing her a promising season.

After the season it is logic that Trusova is the first to leave. She came to senior competitions as the favourite but all of a sudden she was losing to her team mates all the time. This kind of extra competition is too tough to handle.

I'm confused about this because aren't they all in self isolation? Was this arranged before and after quarantine.
I know we all thought that Sasha would be the last to leave, but one bad season can change everything. She was being beaten by the other girls and thought "I need to change SOMETHING"
but also, I lowkey need Eteri to confirm for it to be real.
(Plushenko 1, Eteri 0?)
Eteri made a melodramatic instagram post about it, so I believe it

Something needed to be changed for sure, but i wasn't expecting her to leave this soon tho, not to mention for Plushenko (who i think Tutberidze hates, after all the drama last winter)

Athletically Sasha is the most talented of the three, but artistically she needed work which was never truly addressed especially in the free, the approach was rather letting her having the most difficult technical content but that layout was a lot even for many male skaters, and all those falls made her less confident over time.

Trusova went from being arguargbly the best in the world after Japan Open / Test Skates, to the 3rd behind Kostornaya and Shcherbakova.

One thing is worth noting is that Alexander Volkov is the previous coach Trusova had, back when he was still at Sambo70, he's the guy who pushed her to do quads, and he joined Plushenko's academy 1-2 years ago. So Plushenko has taken specialists from Sambo70 over the years which could potentially replicate the same formula.

I don't see this necessarily as a bad thing, i've always said that competition is what keeps certain standards, Sambo70 will keep thriving anyway, but you can't rely only one single coaching team, now that CSKA is a bit falling behind i think it's worth giving Plushenko's academy a chance.

What i'm mostly impressed is that they are allowing her to leave now that she is still very competitive, we had seen people leaving Sambo70 before but only when they are basically about to retire or not willing to improve the way the coaches want.

I wouldn't say that CSKA is falling behind anyone. But maybe they are in danger of being the victims of their own success. When you have ALL the best skaters it is inevitable that there will be some who will start looking around for other opportunities.

Alright, which split was more shocking and will bring more drama? Medvedeva and Eteri or Trusova and Eteri?

Eteri is going to end up with all the most dramatic splits when her coaching career is over.

Plushy could teach her to bamboozle us with her arms in between all of her quads!

As am I! YES! *fist pumps*

Don’t forget Julia and Eteri. But I suppose we saw that coming a mile away.

We will see if it was a good decision or not in the future. Whatever happens I wish her Sasha the best. You could see her struggling also eith her emotions everyone the other 2 best her . It's soemthing that sure weight a lot on to the mind of a 15 year old. And mabye it's also good that she gets new input. Like with my hobby riding different teachers can give you different thing and in the end you learned one thing form one teacher , one thing from another and mabye still some thing else from another trainer all these different things put together can make soemthing beautiful as a whole . Sometimes you need this. Some people do not.

Oi pal, it’s Eteri’s thing to deliver us drama and splits :) :D
On a serious note, I think it’s just because everyone’s eyes are drawn to her students and her, so that every incident is always a big deal.

Game of Thrones theme music is truly intensifying in my mind:eek:

Really hope this move does not flop like the season 8 of GOT though.:disapp:

Financially and politically they still get a ton of support for sure, but in ladies they've never been able to compete with Sambo70 despite all the resources, although i should say Samodelkina is very talented and can compete with Eteri's skaters next season in juniors.

Agreed on the other part. When you have so many talents at that level, it's normal they all want to be treated as stars which they are, it takes nothing to feel left out.
