Bronze medalist at the 2014 Olympic Games Elena Nikitin finished his sports career, Denis Alimov, head coach of the Russian skeleton team, told .
“I can officially declare that yesterday I wrote a statement on the expulsion of Elena Nikitina. She finished her career.
– How did it happen?
— She was enrolled in our school in Moscow. As you have understood, everyone has a sports program and specific projects. We met with her in the spring and discussed our next actions. We agreed that she would leave the Russian national team, but stay in Moscow.
— With a salary in the region?
— Yes, we agreed that she would train independently in the summer and appear on the ice in the winter. But since every athlete takes the UMO twice a year, on the 6th, her deadline expired, but she did not appear and did not take the exam,” Alimov told .
Nikitina, 30, is a 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, a three-time World Championship bronze medalist and a four-time European champion. In 2019, Nikitina became the first Russian woman to win the Skeleton World Cup.
