Athletistic / Figure skating. Canadian figure skating coach Richard Gauthier, who previously worked with sporting couples, has been convicted in a sexual assault case. He was sentenced to one year in prison.

It is curious that the 61-year-old specialist was tried for crimes he committed in the 1980s. Gauthier allegedly committed sexual crimes against a teenager he was training. The victim’s name has not been released.

Gauthier was reportedly found guilty of two of the three charges.

Irina Slutskaya: “It’s funny when we talk about burnout in figure skating at 15”

It should be noted that Olympic champions Megan Duhamel/Eric Redford and Jamie Sale/David Pelletier trained under the guidance of a specialist in different years.
