MOSCOW, 1 Jun. Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova believes that coach Yevgeny Rukavitsyn did not say anything humiliating to the figure skater Elizaveta Nugumanova. Previously, Nugumanova told Match TV that Rukavitsyn and members of his team repeatedly insulted her during the 2020/21 season, talking about the presence of an athlete overweight. «For girls, it is painful to hear words about being overweight, but if you are not ready for this, then you don’t need to figure skating. If they say to lose weight, then it’s necessary. Where is the humiliation?
