Figure skater Diana Mukhametzyanova in an interview with , she spoke about a conversation with coach Pavel Slyusarenko and his partner Artem Gritsaenko after the decision to end his career.
Earlier, the mother of figure skater Diana Mukhametzyanova posted an entry on social media where she announced that her daughter was ending her career, including because of emotional abuse.
– Everything was fine – the training program, and the attitude of all the teachers towards me, and the atmosphere in the team. My departure has nothing to do with the last coaching staff. I am only grateful to them, ”says Mukhametzyanova.
Even when I felt better after the holidays, I had time to lose weight. Pavel Sergeevich (Slyusarenko) asked during the parting: “Is it certainly not because of the weight struggle?” He was ready to wait for me to lose weight gently. I replied that it was quite another thing. My decision is personal, comes from within and is not related to fitness, skill, competition prospects, etc. I just lost the urge to ride.
Has anyone tried to dissuade you?
Pavel Sergeevich was very surprised by my announcement, but thanks to him! – correctly perceived. Artem (Gritsaenko) too. I told him as soon as I arrived that most likely I would finish. Probably he was rude, but he can’t influence my decision. The partner only asked me to tell him in time what choice I would make, so that he understood. I was honest with him. Now Artem is skating with a new girl – Liza Osokina. I believe they will succeed.
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.
