Al l & agrave; of words, simple images in all their crudeness represented the tangible evidence of the plight of a young girl of sixteen faced with a situation that threatens to jeopardize his future, not just sports.
In the service broadcast in the afternoon today, the young skater & egrave; appeared all skin and bones with the sunken face and legs as thin as sticks. As reported by herself, would weigh at the time little more & ugrave; twenty-six kg. in spite of the almost five feet tall.
Interviewed by an envoy of the & rsquo; issuing Russian Antipova addressed words of fire against dell & rsquo; former coach Natalia Pavlova in the recent past rise to the headlines for another case of anorexia that had covered Lubov Iliuschechkina, current partner of the Canadian Dylan Moscovitch .
& Ldquo; Here I am, Natalia Pavlova. Look at the state I reduced thanks to you. Do you think now might think me & Outdoors, height of skating in your group? Natalia Pavlova, a coach with whom I started skating in pairs, I was always told to lose weight unless separated from my partner and get back on the ice, therefore, to compete in the individual. A & ograve for me; & Egrave; always liked to skate in pairs and for this reason have begun my problems. Initially, I had not considered the problem of losing weight, but Pavlova I spoke and acted as if l & rsquo; offense had openly showed his hatred towards me during workouts. If I had not lost weight and I accidentally took 100 grams, I would not pi & ugrave; spoken and above all I would not deemed suitable to execute the elements of torque. At that point, I started doing what I could to drink and eat as little as possible. Everything & egrave; was very hard. From the beginning, I would need the & rsquo; help of specialized doctors, but I did l & rsquo; mistake to move independently and in the wrong way. The consequence & egrave; was that with time & egrave; become difficult to eat. Obviously, I was living in a huge state of stress and I was not able to perceive how the situation was slowly degenerating.
Now, I am firmly convinced that skaters able to perform certain elements, in spite of their weight, should not try to lose weight further by doing my end. E & rsquo; wrong.
However, I feel better than when I arrived at the hospital. Since then I have gained a kilogram and now weight 26.5 kg.
Now, when I wake up in the morning and I wash my face, I can perceive the presence of a bit & rsquo; meat on my bones. My case of anorexia & egrave; for & ograve; different from those with which they look in the mirror and see themselves overweight. I want to increase my weight and now I am doing everything possible to get back to normal & agrave ;.
I would like to thank all those who are supporting me. For me & egrave; very important and is a push to try to improve the situation. I appeal to each one asking for help because & eacute; Prices in Israel are exorbitant and we do not have available the necessary sum that will enable me to cure myself in the best way & rdquo ;.
To make matters worse, we thought a former training partner as well & eacute; friend of Julia Antipova: & ldquo; do not want to blame those who coach and I would not blame because Julia & eacute; between school and sport was wearing too much pressure. However, I believe that the diary of Iliuschechkina speak clearly. Lubov & egrave; was forced to drop weight with the justification that only cos & igrave; would have achieved sporting success. In this regard, the systems used have always been extreme. L & rsquo; coach decided the men & ugrave; and behaved like a real dietician. The morning was allowed to eat what they wanted for lunch did not go beyond a soup, occasionally with a little & rsquo; meat, and the evening was the maximum tolerated fruit. I must admit that, in any case, Julia, I started eating very little & rdquo ;.
Have not gone according to plan in the statements of the mother of Julia Antipova: & ldquo; Pavlova has always kept the pressure on Julia with phrases such as & ldquo; Yesterday you ate a piece of fish too much & rdquo ;. Julia, however, skated well and was able to complete the best jumps. However, when you & egrave; decided to have her compete in pairs, Pavlova has left it clear that she was too heavy. Since then, & egrave; been taught to eat very slowly, trying to chew for the greater possible time in such a way as to be satisfied with less food. In fact, he was working with a psychologist who was supposed to be support for push to eat less and less. E & rsquo; slightly more likely to drink & ugrave; hundred grams of water per day because & eacute; they did to believe that it was good for the muscles. They had the courage to put her on a diet during the period of puberty & agrave; preventing it to grow and become a woman & rdquo ;.
Laconic commentary by one of the journalists present in the study that has attempted to circumvent the problem: & ldquo; Julia & egrave; reached the point of being ashamed of eating and eventually forgotten how to eat & rdquo ;.
Was also attended by Alexei Mishin and Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA, who told never to have taken into consideration the words of those who invited her to not eat rimaracando how important it is to eat in a healthy manner and in abundance, especially in the period of puberty & agrave ;. Mishin called idiots those coaches that during puberty & agrave; impose strict diets to their athletes chiosando that a skater too skinny and not strong & will not be agrave; never be able to complete the required rotation of the elements of jump.
The pi & ugrave; will recall that gi & agrave; in spring, a theme not far dall''anoressia was marginally affected by one of the coaches of the cry of the Russian landscape. Nina Mozer, technical among many of Volosozhar / Trankov and Stolbova / Kilmov, had taken away from Vera Bazarova, claiming it was too thin to be able to skate competitively in pairs. With the benefit of hindsight, in the light of the service offered by the skater in question in recent Lombardy Trophy, the first impression & egrave; Mozer that has seen more & ugrave; away from others.
& Nbsp; Clearly, a transfer is completed, you & egrave; made to wait for the response of the Russian Federation piccata. According to the president Alexander Gorshkov, it is not clear why it should be publicly asked for money when the Fed would not have problems to finance any treatment anywhere in the world.
Along the same lines & egrave; also expressed the new director general Alexander Kogan: & ldquo; so far Antipova & egrave; ricoeverata always been at a Moscow hospital, constantly followed by highly specialized personnel in contact with us. According to doctors at the time, it would not be a need to transfer to & rsquo; abroad, but if it unexpectedly becomes the best solution must be paid for when the Fed would provide cover expenses. "
Looking at the situation in a detached manner dall''esterno, it is evident that the communication between the federation and the entourage skater there is something that did not work out the best and the 'impression & egrave; do not miss some empty script. Ci & ograve; circumstances a question arises spontaneously. "Come & egrave; possible that the couple Antipova / Maisuradze proves yet entered the stage of Grand Prix, despite the condition of Antipova, which are under the eyes of all? & Nbsp; For trivial it may be, this fact does not bode well certainly in favor of federation Russian.
Meanwhile, Nodari Maisuradze in the past and now partner Lubov Iliuschechkina companion on the ice of Julia Antipova, and two-time Olympic champion & nbsp; Artur Dmitriev, coach dell''emergente couple Maisuradze / Antipova, perferito not have to add anything to what was stated in the past week.
