Russia’s Honored Swimming Coach Irina Vyatchanina said that at first she had mixed feelings about the offer to work with Paralympic athlete Artem Pavlenko.
“At first, I myself took the proposal ambiguously. On the one hand, Artyom Pavlenko is an honored master of sports, we have Russian records with him. But moving to Paralympic sports after working in elite sports for so many years seemed… a bit humiliating, or something. It took some time to adjust to the situation.
But I told my son: “Arkash, do you remember, how old is your mom? Should I start from scratch and find myself in this mess? – RT quotes Vyatchanina as saying.
Viatchanina is the former head coach of the Russian swimming team. His son Arkady Viatchanin trained under him, as did Yulia Efimova, Tatyana Belonogoff and others.
