Maybe she's not that enthusiastic after reading that Nathalie it is not going to do major cleansing in organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few cases are "established" in FS world - that's the core of the problem and that's what this article is about. But I appreciate that they listed it as a significant case to show it's a problem of entire skating world, no matter what country and culture.

SitTwizzle Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I understand the denial may have been, either because there was no abuse, or because Daisuke Takahashi doesn't want "waves" (it may be because he thinks she simply lost her reserve when drunk and he doesn't perceive her as an abuser?)

rockstaryuzu Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Tangentially related, goes to show it's in every sport: https://ca.yahoo.com/news/top-u-swim-coaches-abused-192548406.html (By the way, the above article hits home for me as we had a coach at my swim club in the 1980s who "seduced" (groomed, he definitely groomed her) a girl a year older than me aka 16 (and at the time I was swimming for the club!) and then dragged her off to another city with him after the club found out what he was up to and fired him. The club wasn't able to take any further action than to warn the next place that hired him unfortunately, as there were no further mechanisms available at the time (late 80's).)

Even if Takahashi doesn't want to make a fuss, what she did was not acceptable because of the power imbalance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Meanwhile Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski took part in a vulgar spoof making dirty jokes about Bradie Tennell. I always thought they weren’t really smart, but this is downright stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkleSalad Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Worse than stupid. They're two people in a position of power humiliating a skater and encouraging the sexualisation of ladies' figure skating knowing full well how many senior skaters are literal children. To hell with them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Actually, it would leave the same aftertaste with me even if they only chose to speak of adult skaters. This sort of “humour” just puts me off - ok, there are certain contexts where it would be ok-ish, but to see this on television about a fellow skater - or any other athlete, come to that, - is just so much wtf. I won’t be sorry for them to leave commentating behind. Both come across as narcissistic beings, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
