Honored Coach of Russia, the choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze group, Alexey Zheleznyakov, commented on the words of the two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko about the unfair refereeing of the students of the Angela Plushenko Academy.
Recall that the specialist expressed his dissatisfaction with the refereeing of the junior championship of Russia, held in Perm. He said that he would not object to the transfer of athletes from his academy to other teams, especially because the Russian referees did not appreciate the performances of their students.

In general, it sounds like a betrayal. It is for me personally. It seems to Evgeny Viktorovich that his athletes are always sued, ”says Zheleznyakov DEA News.
