Here’s a translation of Eteri Tutberidze’s comment made in a interview with Leonid Slutsky.
“Eteri Tutberidze: “I believe it’s wrong to chase after medals; one should strive for their best performance. There were two athletes who chased after medals. It was Zhenya Medvedeva – she chased after a medal, not a performance, and Sasha Trusova. That’s why they have this mismatch. They don’t understand that the path to the goal enhances our lives, not the goal itself. Anya Shcherbakova says she thought she would wake up the happiest every day, but it didn’t happen.
Q: Did you wake up the happiest after Lipnitskaya’s medal?
Eteri Tutberidze: On the contrary, I was upset. I understood that Yulia wouldn’t skate personal. She gave her team medal to her mother, and that’s it.” Tutberidze said in an interview with Leonid Slutsky on the “Comment.Show” YouTube channel.
