Eteri Tutberidze | The woman who started it all | Interview
Ted (ISU Commentator): First of all, I wanted to thank you for the extraordinary job that you do.
How did you even really started a new era of skating.
It’s beautiful what your skaters and your coaching team have done.
And it’s improved our sport worldwide.
Young skaters, especially young junior ladies never did quads before.
I don’t even know if anybody had ever thought about that.
Was there a particular moment that you thought
“Hey, you know what? I think these girls can do that!”
Eteri (Coach of most quad ladies):
Maybe, you know, during the practice, especially in junior, girls are usually better than boys.
They jump better and stronger.
So that’s the point.
If junior girls can jump better than junior boys,
why do we only develop boys in the senior ranks for quads and not develop girls in the junior ranks?
Should we continue doing the same thing?
And for me, girls can do better here.
Anna Shcherbakova (Skater who did quads): We started quad training long time ago.
Even when almost no one else did.
At that time my coach looked into the future
and understood that (the quad era for ladies) would happen one day.
It’s important we see quads as normal jumps
and not jumps to be afraid of.
We should see quad as another jump
and think we can do it.
Alexandra Trusova (Skater who landed the first 4T, 4F, 4Lz for ladies): I always wanted to do things no one else did.
So I did jumps, and tried to make them higher.
The coach can lift you up a bit at some point, hold you a little, and give direction.
When at some point the coach said “I’m not doing anything but skating with you so you can be sure”
that’s when we began our real quad jump training without harness.
Sometimes the coach told me “I’m not doing anything”
but then when I started jumping without fish-pole I would feel the difference.
You will get used to it eventually.
Though at first it seems impossible.
At the beginning of training, you would feel it’s very difficult.
After much training, you started thinking, it’s quite possible.
