Daniel Grassl shared his memories of training in Russia. Italian figure skater and the silver medalist at the European Championships in 2022, trained with Eteri Tutberidze’s group in 2023. Here’s a translation of his comments.
“I’m a huge fan of Eteri. Her female skaters jump more than men.
I gained the experience I wanted. In January 2023, after the worst competition of my life at the Italian Nationals (Grassl didn’t make the podium, although he had won for four consecutive years before that – Sports), I was in a bad place and decided to leave.
It was very tough, nobody spoke English, I was always alone and felt homesick. But I grew a lot psychologically.
For Eteri, every day is a new competition where she is the main judge. The pressure was immense. After six months, I returned,” said Grassl.
