Kamila got a 4 year ban and all her results post 2021 are nullified, that was expected. My question is when will the IOC make a decision on the Beijing team medals because I would think it’s ultimately up to them.

Think I've said this before but the thing that really gets me about Yuri On Ice is that it's so much kinder than the world we live in. Russia isn't violently homophobic. Men's figure skating isn't homophobic. The Russian coach won't let his youngest star do quads until he's old enough to do them safely. Just things that should be true but aren't yet.

If I was most of current ice dancers I'd be embarrassed to say I'm competing in the same disciplinne as Virtue/Moir used to

me vs genuinely trying not to tweak when something about the russian olympic trio from beijing 2022 goes viral and then all of the comments/replies are full of people who don’t actually care about figure skating BLATANTLY spreading misinformation about what happened

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!

ill never forget her 🩷

[swan-lutz]

Me when I see the most insufferable skating page on instagram post about how Kamila didn’t dope and we’ve all been brainwashed by western media 😜😜😜😜😜😜

[ladyvandt]

Why people always seem to forget Alina Zagitova, like? She's a super slam and very active in social media and yet she's one of the most forgotten eteri girls

[russianfigureskatinghell]

Eteri is talking shit again....

I hope Sasha really did throw her skate at her head tbh (but she probably didn't, and she's just shit talking 🙄)

Also, please tell us who told them to leave you, we need to know who to stan 🙏

I'm not even gonna speak on what she said about Kamila

Also, I would get tired, too, if I was being emotionally and physically abused by my coach.....

Well that didn't take long.

Anyone who blames Kamila Valieva is someone I'm immediately dubious with, she was 15 at the time, a child. She did not get those drugs herself, they were given to her by her coaches- How do people blame her?
