Figure Skater Evgenia Medvedeva Returns To Coach Eteri Tutberidze

News 18  

Olympic silver medalist Evgenia Medvedeva said Wednesday she has returned to working with Eteri Tutberidze, the Russian figure skating coach who first took her to stardom. Medvedeva left Tutberidze for Canadian coach Brian Orser in May 2018, three months after losing out to another Tutberidze skater, Alina Zagitova, at the Pyeongchang Olympics. Medvedeva won world championship bronze with Orser’s help in 2019 but has since struggled to challenge for top places amid competition from a new wave of younger Russian skaters, some of them performing hitherto rarely seen quadruple jumps. Medvedeva said Orser had no objection to the change of coach.
