“The treatment helped, but not always. My body gets used to food very quickly “- figure skater Mukhametzyanova about the problem of excess weight

Figure skater Diana Mukhametzyanova in an interview with , she told how she dealt with overweight issues during her sports career.

Earlier, the mother of the figure skater had announced on social networks that her daughter was ending her career, in particular because of psychological violence.

– As a farewell, your mother wrote about psychological violence, which was very present in your sporting life. What are we talking about exactly?

– It all started when I was six and went to a coach, with whom I studied before leaving as a couple. They constantly gave me feedback, and in the next group of coaches too. I have always been grown up, even as a child. It is my misfortune – that nature has not endowed thinness. But I fought, I tried. I don’t want to express the details of unpleasant conversations and I usually remember them. This has been the case for most of my adult life.

Only Pavel Sergeevich (Slyusarenko) did not have violence. Maybe because at the age of 18 I had already learned to control my weight and looked good during training in Perm.

– Did the former coaches who criticized you try to help the doctors? For example, a nutritionist, an endocrinologist? Perhaps specialized specialists have drawn up an individual nutritional program for you?

– It was in the group of Arina Andreevna Ushakova. All of us – collections – underwent a medical examination: they checked our height and weight, our body index. In the medical center they found a nutritionist, thanks to whom I lost one and a half kilograms. Then we turned to another nutritionist, we worked with her almost until she was kicked out of Nina Moser’s school.

Treatment helped, but not always. The fact is that my body gets used to food very quickly and I can’t eat the same thing. And the doctor recommended it. I remember being praised for losing weight, the weight was normal for a while and then started to increase. It was a rough time for me: I seemed to be doing everything the doctor told me to, and the results on the scale said I was doing nothing. That is, all dietary efforts became futile, and I finally broke up with a nutritionist. This is one of the reasons for the disagreement with the coaches.

Mukhametzyanova, paired with Ilya Mironov, won silver at the 2020 Youth Olympics and, in the 2019/20 season, silver at the Junior Grand Prix Final.
