Yes, I thought after Iceballerina's post.

Trusova: So good, she counts as two competitors!!!!
The last one I meant Tarakanova, obviously!
Don't lie, you just can't get Trusova's quads out of your head I understand that.
Good luck Nastia!
For me one of the best SP ever,
she deserved more points!!!

Great music, great coreo, complexity and energy!

Tarakanova definitely is a great skater, probably the most natural skating talent out of the current Russian ladies.I hate to admit it here, but... while I have a HUGE respect for Trusova’s technical ability and think it is amazing that someone of her age is able to do two quads, I prefer watching Tarakanova’s skating. Tarakanova’s presentation, her ability to go for it, that’s just WOW for me. Her passion for skating, the fire in her... I know she is not as consistent, but it is so much harder to skate the way she does. She really doesn’t hold back.
If I had a bit of a wishlist on what they could work on, I hope that they work on her free leg extension upon landing. Her free leg goes too high and it just doesn't work... Shouldn't be a massive issue to fix but it really would help.
This is a difficult question. I guess the only “factual” reason is the skaters simply want a change. Anastasia is recovering from illness, it is probably difficult to keep up with Eteri’s level of coaching. We know Medvedeva’s reasons. Also, it’s difficult to receive the attention you might need because Eteri does indeed have a stable of juniors. She just took in more novices as well.I have a question for anyone who has real, or semi real facts. What is the reason these promising skaters are leaving Eteri? With her track record, you'd think skaters would be flocking to her rink. Does she have a stable of Juniors ready to take the places of Med and Anastasia?

Isn't RusFed paying for Medvedeva's training at the private TCC school? I know Medvedeva has won more medals than Tarakanova, but if they'll pay a private Canadian coach to train a Russian skater, why wouldn't they pay a private Russian coach to train a Russian skater?I wonder if Nastya is paying her own money or if she got a grant from the school which they give to the more promising students. It's a private school and the state isn't going to fully finance her training there.
She lands two quads, so you have to beat her twice!Trusova: So good, she counts as two competitors!!!!

Coincidence? Shelepen - injury. Voronov was injured too. Pitkeev - career ending injury. Lipnitskaya - anorexia. Tsurskaya - injury. Medvedeva - injury. Tarakanova - whatever she had. Illness? Or injury? Can’t you really see the pattern? I have respect for whatever Tutberidze manages to squeeze out of the kids, but skating under her seems to be very high but only short term success and injury. The body obviously can’t take it longer than five years. Medvedeva seems to have lasted the longest at the top, but ended up the same as the others. I am giving Zagitova four more years max before she is injured, unless she switches coach earlier. No one lasted more than 5 years and most of them less.Three out of my four favorite Eteri skaters have left her - Medvedeva, Tsurskaya, and Tarankova, with Kostornaia still there. One of the things all three ladies who left have in common is injuries / illness. Probably just a weird coincidence, and I would imagine their reasons for leaving might not have anything to do with that. I sincerely hope for the best for all three ladies and hope their respective moves are good for them.
Injuries are a part of top sports. Have you compared this track record to other similarly successful coaches?Coincidence? Shelepen - injury. Voronov was injured too. Pitkeev - career ending injury.
