Recall that Plushenko was not satisfied with the assessment of his students at the Russian Championship among juniors. He said that his team might consider moving to other teams. His statement will also be evaluated by the FFKKR.
After that, Fedchenko called his words blackmail and hysteria.
“I had to stand up for him. Most importantly, I didn’t want him to start doubting his victory. True, the story turned out to be very noisy.
I made too many comments. Only my interview was divided into the most vivid expressions. Basically everyone clung to the statement that I don’t care about Plushenko’s opinion. I actually respect him a lot as an athlete, but his opinion, especially on coaching, is not really authoritative for me,” Fedchenko said.
Alina Gorbacheva, who trained with Fedchenko, took the first place at the Russian Junior Championships. Second and third places went to Plushenko’s students Veronika Zhilina and Sofia Titova.
Natalya Bestemyanova, former Olympic champion in ice dancing shared his opinion About the complaint by the Evgeni Plushenko Academy to the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) about coach Sofia Fedchenko for her remarks about Evgeni Plushenko.
