“When there is harassment, at first you don’t understand that they want to remove you.” Nugumanova responds to Tarasova

Russian figure skater Elizaveta Nugumanova told yesterday that she joined Elena Sokolova’s dance group and also recalled the reasons for Evgeny Rukavitsyn’s departure from the group.

“The reason was clear in May. I don’t want to procrastinate on this subject. She clearly said that there was bullying, it was impossible to work, people did not allow me to calmly train, go to the ice – this is the main reason for my departure Nugumanova told .

Soon, honored figure skating coach Tatyana Tarasova said in the media that she did not believe in the persecution of Nugumanova. Tarasova asks, first of all, the following question: why did Nugumanova hide all this for so long? The coach also called this situation nonsense.

“” gives the skater the opportunity to meet the famous specialist.

– Tatyana Anatolyevna, when bullying happens, at first you don’t understand that they want to remove you, but you think: the coach probably talks about unpleasant things in order to somehow stimulate you to get other results. And you need time to understand, to understand. I always thought very well of Evgeny Vladimirovich [Рукавицыне]I trusted him and believed him and convinced myself to the end that the coach was doing this for results.

But, as you know, the sport of the highest achievements cannot consist only of whipping and deprivation of the training process. I did my best to find contact with the coach. Each time I tried to talk to him, but he “rejected” me. I was helpless and when I finally realized it was useless, of course I told many about it. The threats broke the camel’s back: I’m going to take you out of sport, I’m going to find incriminating evidence on you, I have connections.

This attitude started after training camp, when the programs were staged and the new season started. Not everyone understands why I didn’t leave right away. To the words I wrote above, I will add: in figure skating there is still a window of transitions, and since I am a disciplined athlete, I could not give up everything and leave. You have to act within the law, try to improve relations, which I tried to do.

Tatyana Anatolyevna, you spoke well about Evgeny Vladimirovich. This is your personal opinion and your relationship. It’s good that you didn’t have such problems, and it would be strange if he could do something wrong with you. Although I think you have also met different people in your life.

I told my story and I want there to be justice, honesty, decency, so that there is no anarchy like at home! Believe me, I didn’t say everything. First of all, I wanted to create a precedent that would show: an athlete has the right to vote, he is the same civil rights holder as a coach. He too can stand up for his rights and honor, and not just nod and obey, as some believe.

Or should we just tell those who defend themselves against such an attitude and such anarchy that it is normal to humiliate, to expel, to insult in sport? It seems to me that if we try to respect each other and decide everything in a civilized way, it will make things better for everyone. In this, I now see my mission and I thank all those who support me!
