Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Russian figure skater Elizaveta Nugumanova said she was repeatedly insulted in coach Evgeny Rukavitsyn’s team. The athlete expressed his dissatisfaction with this attitude.

“The team often told me that I was fat, that nothing would come of it. There were even words like this: “Even in your social networks, soon no one will need you with your silhouette.” It was funny to hear that.

I have a team that constantly says I have weight issues. In fact I never had one. But it’s good, they tell me I need to lose weight – I listened to them, I lost weight, they are still my coaches. But the situation sometimes reaches the point of absurdity.

I still think women’s skating should be women’s. Yeah, I’m not arguing, Anya [Щербакова] and Camilla [Валиева] gorgeous. But they are like that – thin, thin, beautiful. And here I am, and I can’t be physically smaller. Also, they’re still a bit younger than me, so that’s also a factor.

As a result, I lost weight, of course, but you can’t cross the line. I also look at myself from the outside and understand that I look good on the ice. I am not blind. And if I understood that I did not look very well, I would certainly fix everything, but it is not. Well, I’m not fat! And the coaches told me all last season the opposite: that I am full, that nothing happens because of the weight”, quotes Match TV Nugumanova.
