Of course there is tremendous demand for training programs like Eteri, because people see the benefit in being a top ranked skater and winning Olympic medals. That doesn't mean Eteris training system, and the system in general, is not abusive -- it creates the opportunity for abuse because families that don't comply with Eteri's methods can be booted for the next willing skater any time. So while children enter these programs willingly, that does not mean they are not abused and exploited once in them. And while Valieva could leave tomorrow and be replaced, look at what it would cost her -- years of her life and energy, on mastery of a sport she may never be able to compete in at a high level again.

You can look at it this way or you can take a position that Eteri is one of the coaches (not THE coach) who offers a particular method of training, and those who don't like it are free to leave, as some did. I mean no one has to train with her, there are other coaches out there. Surprisingly, a few stars who left Tutberidze's camp, have returned because grass was not greener. [/quote]
Sambo-70 has become the only path to the Olympic Team. Although I do wonder what went down with the Plushenko defection. I think Evgenia would have stayed with Brian Orser had the pandemic not happened, but she has way too many injuries to ever be competitive again. [/quote]
