-{ Tutberidze's team }-

Off the ice: GPP, recovery, GPP analysis
and stretching are mandatory blocks: leg strength, core stability, work on axes and rotation.
Video analysis. They watch not only their own skates, but also the performances of their rivals: they compare the height of jumps, the speed of spins, the quality of the ribs.
Recovery. Between loads - stretching, massage, sometimes cryotherapy. The staff strictly monitors that there is no overtraining and injuries.

Runs of programs and artistic work
Daniil Gleikhengauz is responsible for this together with Eteri Tutberidze.

Skates are not made "to the maximum", but to quality. At first, they can skate a program without the most difficult jumps in order to work out combinations, transitions and speed.
Musicality and details. Gleikhengauz often shows the movements himself, asks to "sing" the rhythm with his legs, focuses on micro-details: the look, the hand, the turn of the head. Emotion according to plan. Emotions are not left for "it will come by itself": they are put as an element – at what point of the program there should be a culmination, where there is a pause, where there is an acceleration.

Choreography and plastique
Alexei Zheleznyakov works on dance elements, posing and expressiveness.

These can be separate choreographic blocks or work directly in the bundles of the program.
Zheleznyakov actively shows, demands a "clean line" and expressive hands. His style is emotional: he can react loudly if the movement is "empty", and just as warmly praise when it turns out brightly.

The role of Eteri Tutberidze
She keeps the overall picture and sets the pace.

Tough analysis of mistakes. Tutberidze does not like vague wording: she says specifically where and what is wrong, and immediately gives a solution.
Control of discipline and rhythm. If the training "floats" or the athlete is playing for time, she immediately returns to the schedule. Psychological moment. In the staff, it is considered normal that a coach can be harsh, but at the same time the athletes know that behind this is a demand for results, and not personal hostility. At critical moments (before the start, after breakdowns), Tutberidze can give exactly the support that a particular figure skater needs.

Training in the staff of Eteri Tutberidze is a very dense, minute-by-minute process, where each specialist has his own area of responsibility. How the day
is built Usually, top singles athletes have two main ice training sessions a day (morning and afternoon), plus general physical training, stretching, choreography and gliding work. Between ice sessions - recovery, video analysis, sometimes additional classes (for example, on a fishing rod or in the gym). Everything goes according to strict timing: a specific time is allotted for each element and block of the program. Warm-up and warm-up
First, there is a general warm-up: athletes skate in a circle, warm up their muscles, do basic slides and light jumps. Already at this stage, coaches monitor the quality of the ribs, the position of the body and arms. If they see a "dirty" rib or loss of an axle, they immediately stop it and ask to redo it.

Work on jumps (technical part)
Here the main role is played by Sergey Dudakov. He is responsible for jumping and ultra-C.

Lots of repetition with an emphasis on entry and exit. A jump is not counted as "done" if the ride is shaky or the rib is questionable. It will be repeated until a stable clean performance. Working with a fishing rod. In the early stages of mastering difficult jumps, a safety device (fishing rod) is used: the coach helps the skater to hold the axis and feel the correct trajectory.
Analysis by frames. After each attempt, they watch a video: where the altitude was lost, where the edge "went", how the group worked. Quantity control. There are clear limits on the number of attempts at complex elements per workout, so as not to "clog" the muscles and not to consolidate mistakes due to fatigue.

In clothes, he prefers restrained tones (gray, black, beige), a simple cut, a minimum of accessories and discreet makeup. Brown eyes. The posture is straight, which adds rigor to the image. Character. She is often described as demanding and tough, especially when it comes to results. But behind this "armor" colleagues and relatives see a vulnerable, sincere personality.

She is petite - about 152 cm tall, in everyday life she can often be seen in comfortable, stylish clothes: jeans, hoodies, sneakers. In training, I wear a standard sports uniform. The character
of Adelia is a contradictory and very lively personality. On the one hand, she is purposeful, persistent and demanding of herself. The choreographer of Eteri Tutberidze's group, Alexei Zheleznyakov, noted that she is a "stubborn and intellectual athlete" who always gives her best. On the other hand, she is emotional, open, not afraid to seem funny or arrogant, which makes her look sincere. As a child, she was straightforward (she said everything she thought), but over time she learned to better adapt to the requirements of big sports. Behavior
On the ice, Adelia concentrates all her energy: her movements are clear, her poses are expressive, and her emotionality makes her skates bright and memorable. She does not just "churn out" jumps, but puts feelings into the performance. Who is her
friend? In the headquarters and outside it, Adelia has developed warm relations with several colleagues. She has a particularly close friendship with Margarita Bazyliuk - in an interview, Margarita said that they became friends and support each other.

Margarita Bazyliuk. In the public field, her friendship with Adelia Petrosyan was most clearly manifested. Margarita said that they became close friends: Adelia literally "caught" her on the ice ("What are you standing there? Come out") and since then they have supported each other. At the same time, in the story with Elena Kostyleva (the yogurt incident), relations in the team have deteriorated - this shows that even in a cramped staff there are difficult moments. Margarita also has a working relationship with coaches, but respectful.

In an interview, she said that Eteri Georgievna offered her to sit with the coaches (with Eteri Georgievna herself, Sergey Dudakov, Daniil Gleikhengauz) right in training - to observe the process, to ask questions.

Specific close friendly couples "only she and someone alone" are not singled out in the public field — rather, she is harmoniously inscribed in the team. At the same time, in communication with the coaches (Tutberidze, Gleikhengauz, Dudakov), a balance is maintained: there is subordination, but also mutual respect, readiness to support.

He is actively working on the most difficult elements (quadruple toe loop, lutz). He can get confused at the moment (for example, after a fall, start looking for the coach with his eyes), but quickly pulls himself together.
Relations in the headquarters. He is friends with other students, for example, with Margarita Bazylyuk and Arseny Fedotov. She treats the coaching staff with respect: Eteri Georgievna seemed strict at first, but over time, Alisa began to perceive her as a "native person".

Alisa Dvoeglazova. He is a close friend of Arseny Fedotov (he also trains at the headquarters) - this was discussed in an interview during the Eteri Tutberidze show. She also has good, supportive relationships with other classmates. In difficult moments (for example, during recovery from injury), Alisa especially appreciated the support of the entire coaching staff - Eteri Georgievna, Daniil Gleikhengauz, Sergey Dudakov

Alisa Dvoeglazova. One of the most notable in the current squad. In the 2025/2026 season, she loudly declared herself at the adult level: she took gold in the final of the Russian Grand Prix, became the silver medalist of the Russian Championship. Her arsenal includes quadruple toe loop and lutz.

Daria Sadkova. She also performs in adult skating. She has prizes at the stages of the Russian Grand Prix and silver at the national championship in 2025. Like Dvoeglazova, he has a quadruple toe loop.

Sofia Akatyeva. Champion of Russia in 2023. For a long time she was one of the key figure skaters of the group, demonstrating complex technical content.

Margarita Bazyliuk. It stands out in junior skating. For example, she became the winner of the Russian Junior Championship in 2024. Dina Khusnutdinova. She joined the group in 2025.

Alexandra Trusova (Ignatova). An interesting case: she left the group several times, but in 2026 she returned to Tutberidze.

Anna Shcherbakova. She came to Eteri Tutberidze back in 2013. In the period from 2022, Anna continued to train in the staff and achieved success - for example, in the 2021/2022 season, Adelia Petrosyan became the Olympic champion

(she moved in 2019, but the main take-off occurred in the period from 2022). She went down in history as the first figure skater to perform a quadruple loop at official competitions. Multiple champion of Russia (2024, 2025, 2026) and winner of the finals of the Russian Grand Prix.

Kamila Valieva. Kamila joined Tutberidze's group in the summer of 2018. Since 2022, she has also been a prominent part of the staff: she performed in competitions, participated in the tours of the show "Champions on Ice".

In the staff of Eteri Tutberidze, there is a really clear division of areas of responsibility: each specialist has his own task, and this allows him to work comprehensively - both on technique and on artistry Eteri Tutberidze is the head coach and head of the staff. It sets the general direction, makes key decisions on preparation, and controls the entire process.
Sergey Dudakov is his area of responsibility primarily technical. He immerses himself deeply in the work on jumps, complex elements, general skating technique and physical training of athletes. In the media, he is sometimes jokingly called a "fishing rod player" - this is about his role at the board during the development of elements. Daniil Gleikhengauz acts as a choreographer. It is he who creates musical images, develops the structure of programs, works on artistry and the connection of music with movements. Since the end of 2014, he has been actively involved in productions, and since the 2018/2019 season, Tutberidze and Gleikhengauz have most often worked on programs together: Stanislav Morozov, who specializes in pair skating. He joined the staff to strengthen this direction: for example, he worked with the couple of Alexander Boikov - Dmitry Kozlovsky, and later with Anastasia Metyolkina and Luka Berulava. Sometimes other narrow specialists also participate in the work of the staff: sliding and step coaches, general physical training coaches, as well as choreographers from outside (for example, Ilya Averbukh or Natalia Zubova were involved in individual productions). All this coaching staff is based and conducts classes at the Eteri Tutberidze Figure Skating Center: ice arenas (here the main training, working out jumps and programs take place - Tutberidze, Dudakov, Gleikhengauz are equally involved here);
halls for choreography (here Gleikhengauz and invited choreographers stage programs, work on plasticity); a gym (here, under the guidance of GPP specialists, athletes strengthen their physical base - Dudakov also participates in this process);
acrobatic hall (for practicing elements)

The headquarters (or rather, the base) of Eteri Tutberidze's team is located at the Eteri Tutberidze Figure Skating Center. What the building
looks like This is a modern sports complex. Externally, it is a functional building without frills, typical for sports facilities: clear lines, large windows, parking areas. What is inside
The complex is multifunctional so that athletes can train comprehensively - both on the ice and in the halls. I structured the main zones:

Two ice arenas. It is here that the main training of the group takes place: working out jumps, spins, programs.
Halls for choreography. Separate rooms with ballet barres and mirrors. Here they stage programs, work on plasticity and artistry. Gym. For strength and functional training, it is an important part of the skater's physical base.
Acrobatic hall. It is needed to practice complex elements where working with body weight and coordination are important.
Additional spaces. There is a yoga area, a playground and even a summer concert hall (sometimes there are shows or open workouts). How this is related to the "headquarters"
It is important not to confuse: the building itself is the infrastructure. And the "staff" in the sports sense is the coaching staff (Tutberidze, Dudakov, Gleikhengauz, Morozov and other specialists) who are based here and conduct classes. That is, the building provides sites, and people form the headquarters itself.
