Took a swing at a wrecking ball, and
I prayed for my downfall, when
Found no way to reconcile
Cause in my heart its not worth while
It’s a bloody battlefield
Some go down, other’s heal
In the end it’s all the same
All you can do is play the game
Oh, do we say goodbye
Refuse to question why
I’m too sad to say I’m sorry
So lie, and pretend that you’re okay
Swear that you will stay
Keep trying for one day
Coach of Two-time Russian champion, 16 year old Anna Shcherbakova and 14 year old Kamila Valieva.
Tutberidze is a strict and demanding coach, but at the same time she gives all of herself to her students.
And you can try for a long time to unravel the secret of her phenomenal success,
but one thing is clear for sure - she is the one in a million (Coach).
And even during our interview, Eteri manages to notice the mistake of her students out of the corner of her eye.
- Where did you put your hands and leg in the program? Did you change the program by yourself?
- No - No? Then why did you change?
Probably just for this honesty to herself and her fans, Evgenia Medvedeva, who is adored by fans from all over the world
and maybe that's why the doors of her native "Khrustalny" rink opened for her again today.
Medvedeva returned to the Tutberidze team.
I thought that I would feel awkward and not comfortable.
In fact, there is no discomfort. Probably because I spent most of my life, in the truest sense of the word.
Surprisingly, nothing has changed, but I do feel a little different.
We talked with Eteri, now everything is fine between us and I think that this is great and sooner or later it had to happen.
Of course, we couldn’t help but asking Zhenya how the titled Canadian coach Brian Orser reacted to her return to Team Tutberidze.
Medvedeva left for him after silver at the 2018 Olympics. - He treated my return with the deepest understanding
and approval, and we kept good warm relations with him, that is, no conflicts, nothing,
and I am glad that I did it this way
- You know, I applauded, because she..
realizing that she was not ready to skate cleanly, that she was not 100% ready, did not act as many did, did not get scared,
but went out and showed what she could do at the moment with a stellar performance.
This is respect both for the fans and for the Figure Skating Federation. It is worthy of respect, honestly.
We will try to do our best for sure. Probably the 11.5 years that she skated with us did not disappear without a trace.
It is extremely difficult, Eteri Tutberidze closely follows Zhenya's every move.
They have come a long way together.
And now they are starting from scratch again. - For some reason it seems to me that she is psychologically a little broken now.
So, to be honest, I want to help her find physical shape on the ice,
so that she can show her skating, and so that she feels more comfortable.
You say that nothing has changed, but you have changed?
Probably it has changed. But still I am growing up, but I hope that I have changed in a good way
because I tried to change for the better, as a person.
So for today it's just a workout, let's see how it goes, we will try.

and pretend that you’re okay
Swear that you will stay
Keep trying for one day
I’m sick of all these lies
Don’t care if I capsize
There is nothing left for me to hide
Don’t want to live a lie
Too many lows Too many highs
Too many things to criticise
So I leave it all behind
Don’t want to live a lie
We wish you all the best, Zhenya
