Eteri Tutberidze reflected on the emotional challenges of the 2022 Beijing Olympics, expressing gratitude for her students’ gold and silver medals despite the difficulties. Here’s a translation of her comment.

Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova won gold and silver in the women’s singles event at the 2022 Olympics, while Kamila Valieva became involved in a doping scandal.

“Emotionally, we were, of course, devastated. But I remember saying at the time: ‘Everything is clear, but let’s thank the Olympic gods that we still have first and second places at the Olympics.’ But emotionally, it was all very hard. And it still is,” Tutberidze said on Okko Sport.
