- First of all, I want to thank Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze and the entire coaching staff for a long, fruitful, sometimes very difficult work. For the great patience that they showed in relation to me and incredible coaching, professional endurance. These people gave me a life in figure skating and led to such high results that I can rightly be proud of.
Turning to the subject of recent events, I want to clarify the situation. I will continue to speak for the Russian Federation, staying in the school "Sambo-70", while training with the Canadian specialist Brian Orser. I do this to use new opportunities and other methods of the training process and continue to represent Russia at the highest level.
As you know, after the Olympics on March 8 I flew to Germany for medical examination. And I was strongly advised to refrain from the load, and I was forced to miss two months of full-time training.
I want to wish the further development and prosperity to Eteri Georgievna's group and once again say thank you for such a valuable 11 years of my life. I remember how I came in just a little. Yes, it was sometimes hard, but I was trained, educated, supported, when necessary - driven. I grew up in front of Eteri Georgievna. She made an invaluable contribution to the development of me not only as an athlete, but also as a person. From her I got many life lessons. I will remember them all my life. On the rink "Crystal" my childhood passed, I will remember with gratitude the time of hard but fruitful work.
Also, I wish all the children from the Eteri Georgievna group, the greatest health, patience, diligence and sports longevity, because we all now know the tremendous, seven-league steps our forward favorite sports, figure skating are moving forward.
I hope that the time will pass and everyone will understand that this was the only possible option for both of us, to continue to work honestly, "said the sportswoman.
一句怨言都冇，呢啲咪風度囉，Eteri又輸一仗了
