Margarita Mamun about abusive coaching methods and how it still influences her now

❗Tw: harassment, abuse - physical and emotional❗

I think these comments are very important to understand how harmful these methods are and that her success came with a big price. Imo she is the first person to call out Irina Viner's behavior.

The "Over the limit" documentary was shocking to me when it was first released because the emotional abuse was shown. If this is what is seen as appropriate behavior on camera, what happens when cameras are not there?

Rita Mamun left the sport with top results and recognition for her success so she had opportunities to earn money after her career. But what's with all those gymnasts trained with such methods that never had any kind of success? These ppl leave broken and gain nothing from it. Abuse needs to be stopped and with interviews like this more ppl are made aware of what's the consequences of such abusive methods.

I think this is important because often you see Russian athletes defend the behavior of their coaches even if it included physical and emotional abuse. Rita questions these abusive methods and sees the wrong in it. So to ppl saying that these ways of trainings make ppl successful: NO! The athletes are successful despite those methods! And many of them never see any kind of success. Don't forget that the public only sees the end results when someone gets successful. We do seldomly hear of those who leave such training regimes broken.

Original interview:

Personal sidenote: You may have noticed that I seldomly post about Russian athletes anymore since the war in Ukraine. I don't want to use my platform - even if it's such a small one - to promote Russian athletes as athletes are used for propaganda in Russia (as we could very well see with the Averina twins). I thought this was worth sharing though bc it doesn't defend abusive methods for results as I often see it from other Russian athletes also in other sports like figure skating. Rita had an important message and it's worth sharing to me!
