If he wants it, I will beat him with pleasure.

Another scandal flares up in Russian figure skating.

The day before, the choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze team, Alexei Zheleznyakov, published a message on his page on the VKontakte social network, in which he turned to Evgeni Plushenko.

He not only grossly insulted the two-time Olympic champion, but also invited him to fight in the ring.

“What do you think if I challenge Mr. Plushenko to a duel?

We will fight without rules.

In the ring - without embellishment.

I hate n ******* s (talkers -

RT

).

Come on, Zhen, don't screw it up.

The tenth wheel requires a duel.

I think you just pass as usual and come up with a three thousand and seven excuse.

My only desire is to shut up your ungrateful filthy mouth, "wrote Zheleznyakov.

The message of the representative of the team, Tutberidze, was quickly replicated by the media and reached Plushenko himself.

The two-time Olympic champion suggested what exactly could have caused the publication of this post and shared his opinion regarding a possible fight with the choreographer.

“Today is the Old New Year.

I think more than one glass of intoxicating drink was drunk.

Probably, in a delirium tremens, his cuckoo swam.

But if he wants it, I will beat him with pleasure.

But why does he write all the time?

After all, nobody touches him.

And he doesn't know who he is.

I told you: give me a magnifying glass, let's see who you are.

Where is this Zheleznyakov and where am I, there is probably no need to compare.

This is the first thing.

Maybe he wants some kind of popularity? "

- quotes Plushenko Sport24.

At the same time, the mentor of Alena Kostornaya and Alexandra Trusova said that he was ready to fight with Zheleznyakov both according to the rules and without.

“Second, if he wants to talk about something ... I'm open.

I'm not running from anyone, I'm not afraid of anyone.

Let him come with pleasure.

If he wants some kind of official fight, I will gladly fight him.

If he wants to fight without rules - we will do fights without rules.

We can organize a hall.

Without gloves, with gloves - whatever, I'm open here.

True, I don't even know what he looks like.

But I will gladly accept the fight, ”Plushenko concluded.

Subsequently, Zheleznyakov's statement was commented on by Plushenko's wife.

The famous producer Yana Rudkovskaya expressed a desire to personally talk with the choreographer and suggested that he was only fulfilling the will of another person.

"Who is it?

Ah, this dancer!

Again a sketch at our address.

They pull us again, and even on a holiday!

Well, it's clear that he's a crazy puppet.

I don't think it is necessary to say who controls this unfortunate person.

Sorry for the guy.

Well, let him come.

We are waiting for him.

I will meet him personally and I hope that he will answer for his "bazaar" or ask for forgiveness.

Sorry for my slang, "- quotes the words of Rudkovskaya" Sport Express ".

Even Renat Laishev, general director of the Sambo-70 Sports and Education Center, where Tutberidze's wards train, criticized Zheleznyakov's behavior.

He called the publication of such messages "unacceptable" and assured that he would have a personal conversation with the choreographer.

“Of course, I don’t want to pay such attention, but we will pay attention from the disciplinary and labor side.

In order not to engage in nonsense, you need to do work, and not these trinkets.

I see this as an Old New Year joke.

There will definitely be a conversation with Zheleznyakov.

As for the sanctions, if he reduces it all to the fact that the holidays and the New Year are to blame, we'll see.

We have a serious organization, we give results.

The most stupid situations are that you are provoked, but you are being led, ”Layshev told the Championship.

However, the words of the general director of "Sambo-70" did not stop the choreographer.

On Thursday morning, he explained why he made such a harsh statement.

“He (Eugene

 - RT

) wanted to stir up interest in figure skating, well, let's warm it up.

Tired of looking at these attacks, nonsense and disgusting statements.

Men used to sort things out in duels, so we'll find out.

I really want to shut up this mouth, let him be responsible for his words, ”Zheleznyakov said.

Tatiana Tarasova also shared her opinion on this incident.

The honored trainer of the USSR suggested what could have been a reason for a quarrel between Plushenko and Zheleznyakov and criticized the idea of ​​a "duel".

“Apparently Plushenko somehow insulted Zheleznyakov, since he decided to challenge Zhenya to a fight.

But Plushenko's consent is all PR that Zhenya needs so much.

Tired of looking at him out of business.

We see his skaters, how they skate, we mark it.

I would like to talk about his coaching work, and not about these fights, ”Tarasova admitted.

It is worth recalling that the conflict between the teams of Tutberidze and Plushenko entered an active phase in the spring of 2020.

The reason for this was the decision of several athletes and coaches to continue their careers under the leadership of the two-time Olympic champion, and the most discussed were the transitions of figure skaters Alexandra Trusova and Alena Kostornaya.

In the Eteri camp, many considered such actions a betrayal and repeatedly spoke out harshly on this topic.

For several months, the parties waged an almost information war, and in September another quarrel broke out between them.

The reason was the publication of the correspondence between Rudkovskaya and Alina Zagitova on the official page of the Tutberidze team on Instagram.

Then Plushenko's wife was accused of trying to lure the Olympic champion Pyeongchang to her husband's academy.

And already at the end of December, the results of the Russian championship became the reason for the next clash between the camps.

Kostornaya was unable to compete in the tournament due to the consequences of the coronavirus, and Trusova was content with only a bronze award, letting two of Tutberidze's students, Anna Shcherbakova and Kamila Valieva, go ahead.

At the same time, Plushenko was dissatisfied with the assessments of his ward and allowed himself a number of harsh statements about the judges.

"We will take over the organization of this battle"

The latest conflict between the coach and the choreographer attracted the attention of not only figure skating representatives, but also the martial arts world.

So, several well-known domestic promoters at once expressed interest in organizing a fight, both according to the rules of boxing and MMA.

One of them was Vladimir Khryunov, who assured that he had previously had experience in conducting fights between non-professional fighters.

“It was interesting for me to watch Plushenko's performances on the ice.

As for the fights, you should go to the boxing gym and train.

I have experience in organizing such events.

It was a fight between Russian journalist Ruslan Astashkov and a Polish journalist.

We did the following: both were given a coach and had a duel, ”said Khryunov.

“If Eugene wants to, let him apply.

We'll give him a coach and fight according to the rules of boxing.

Let's take on the organization of this fight.

And he and the other have sports training, ”he added.

Vadim Finkelstein, head of M-1 Global, also supported a similar initiative.

The former manager of Fedor Emelianenko expressed the opinion that the fight between Plushenko and Zheleznyakov could cause serious excitement and expressed a desire to act as an organizer.

"It would be interesting.

I will not say that this is professional, but from the point of view of PR and show - definitely.

Both guys are athletic and new to this business.

If they contact me, we can easily arrange.

Now you can't do much mass events, you can fill the arena by 25%, but on the Internet - of course.

It depends on when this fight will take place, ”said Finkelstein.

It is worth noting that over the past 15 years, fights have already been held in Russia both between representatives of other sports and between show business stars.

In 2007, Channel One launched the King of the Ring show, which was attended by trainer Edgard Zapashny, singers Pierre Narcissus and Alexei Chumakov, actors Vladimir Epifantsev and Alexander Nosik, TV presenter Valdis Pelsh and others.

The participants fought each other according to the rules of boxing, and the final took place at the Luzhniki arena.

Among other things, as part of this event, a fight took place with the participation of the winner of the UFC tournament Oleg Taktarov and actor Dolph Lundgren.

Thus, Finkelstein or Khryunov could use this idea and organize a tournament with the participation of stars, and put a duel between Plushenko and Zheleznyakov at the head of the card.

Fortunately, there are plenty of conflicts in Russian sports and show business, and many could be resolved in the ring.

Suffice it to recall at least the recent quarrel between the famous rapper and the owner of the SKA-Rostov football club Vasily Vakulenko and the head coach of Rostov Valery Karpin.

But if Basta and Karpin did not offer each other to measure their strength, then some representatives of sports and show business have already expressed their readiness to sort things out in the ring or in a cage.

So, the former RPL referee Igor Fedotov has repeatedly challenged ex-Zenit and Russian national team midfielder Roman Shirokov to a fight according to the MMA rules.

The reason for this was an incident involving a football player who hit referee Nikita Danchenkov in a match of the Moscow Celebrity Cup.

In turn, the famous rapper Alexei Dolmatov offered to fight the bronze medalist of the Olympic Games in judo Dmitry Nosov.

In 2014 and 2015, the musician was detained twice in Krasnoyarsk on suspicion of drug use.

As reported in the media, this was done on a tip from the Antidealer public movement, which was then headed by a former State Duma deputy.

Alexei Sapogov, a former Volga player, was not averse to finding out the relationship in the ring.

In September, he turned to his colleague Shamil Asildirov and challenged him to a fight.

The reason was an incident at the Anji training camp, which also took place in 2014.

In training, a fight broke out between the forwards, as a result of which Sapogov suffered a fracture of his jaw and was forced to undergo surgery, and Asildarov was subsequently expelled from the team.

In the undercard of the duel between Plushenko and Zheleznyakov, girls could well have played.

So, at the end of December, the medalist of the world championships and cups in pankration and kickboxing Angelina Semyonova challenged the famous TV presenter and singer Olga Buzova.

The girl offered to hold the battle according to the rules of boxing and expressed confidence that she could become one of the brightest in this sport.
