Evgenia Medvedeva explained why she didn’t publicly voice complaints about Eteri Tutberidze. Here’s a translation of her comments.
“I’m a firm believer that you shouldn’t air your grievances publicly. So many years have passed since I left, and I realize now that I made the right decision by refraining from speaking out in the heat of the moment. I didn’t say during an interview, ‘I’m going to reveal everything now.’ I didn’t release a statement, and I didn’t use posts to share all my thoughts or to lay out how everything really was.
You have to wait, I think. When I left Eteri Georgievna, it was painful and unpleasant — for both her and me. Everything was piling up like a snowball. But now, everything is fine. As the years pass, you understand how good it was that I kept quiet back then.
To be honest, there were so many times I wanted to speak out. We’re all passionate women, especially in sports. We have our ambitions — a strong opinion for everything appeared in me, and Eteri Georgievna always had hers too. I felt the urge to say something, but I just understood that she led me to an Olympic medal — and that’s the main reason to keep quiet and not say anything bad,” Medvedeva said on the show Katok.
