The Canadian specialist is sure that before the girl could not choose the direction in which she wants to move. He said that the figure skater called the possibility of an independent selection of music for the program "luxury" and complained that all decisions were taken for her.

Orser added that he learned about Medvedev's decision to withdraw from Etere Tutberidze on May 2, and later met with the athlete and her mother in Seoul. He noted that Medvedev immediately inspired him with respect for not wanting to say anything wrong about working with the previous coach.
