“I understood the responsibility when Alexandra Trusova came to us, when Veronika Zhilina came to us. We are not afraid of responsibility, we are ready to work, ready to work, which we do every day. If you are afraid of responsibility, you do not need to study, you can sit at home by the fireplace, watch TV, as many others do, ”Plushenko quoted TASS as saying.
In May, Alexandra Trusova moved from Eteri Tutberidze's group to Plushenko's Academy, and on July 31 it became known about Alena Kostornaya's transfer.
Earlier, Tatyana Tarasova expressed her opinion on the reasons for the transition of the figure skaters of the Tutberidze group to the Plushenko Academy.
