Olympic champion in gymnastics Nazarenko said she was harassed by her coach
Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics Anastasia Nazarenko accused her coach of harassment. Her words are available on the RGcenter No1 YouTube channel.
The athlete said that the coach liked to touch the girls’ buttocks. “He could yell at me or even kick me out of practice. I came to his office and apologized. He said: “Come here, I’ll hug you.” And he started touching me where he shouldn’t,” Nazarenko said, noting that this happened often.
The gymnast admitted that she did not share this story before because she was scared and ashamed. She emphasized that it is important not to be afraid to tell loved ones if something like this happens.
In addition to the gold of the 2012 Olympic Games in the group all-around, the native of Kaliningrad has three highest awards at the world championships. In addition, Nazarenko won the European Championship three times as a member of the Russian national team.
