MOSCOW, Sep 13 French ice dance figure skater Gabriela Papadakis with Guillaume Sizeron, admitted that she missed the 2021 World Cup due to an abortion. «When I got pregnant, I blamed myself. «I'm an athlete, so I have no right to get pregnant,» I thought. — Now, looking back, I seems ridiculous. It took me about two weeks to confess to Guillaume and the coaches. They answered me: «Deal with your problems,» Papadakis said in the film Le Couple de Feu, filmed about the history of the duo. they gave me some time to sort out my problems. Then they told me: «If you're going to win the Olympics, you need to bring yourself to your senses, otherwise we're done.» This is not said out of malice, but they push you against the wall. Then I decided to get well. Now, if they notice that I am falling into the previous state, it will alienate them, because I promised them that I would pull myself together, «she added. Papadakis missed the 2020/21 season and failed to speak at the World Championships. » Desire has nothing to do with it. Only someone who has experienced something similar can understand what I have endured. This coincided with the moment when I had an abortion during the World Cup. We can say that after that everything went downhill. I announced that I had an abortion. They visited me, everything seemed to be fine, but they told me not to talk about it. There was something like an alienation between us,» the athlete concluded.
