German gymnasts open up on abuse and mistreatment | DW News

[@jansix4287]

Professional gymnastics and abuse are basically the same.

[@libbytate1027]

Ballet training also.

[@sanjikaneki6226]

@@jansix4287 why?

[@jansix4287]

@@sanjikaneki6226 Because many top chefs are known to practice mental torture and put excessive pressure onto their subordinates to enforce excellence. It’s described as constant screaming in the kitchen.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

@@jansix4287 Firstly, Michelin only gives 3 stars. Second, few top chefs scream or humiliate their staff because if they did they wouldn't have a staff. Finally, the way Gordon Ramsay acted on some of his TV shows was just that - acting.

[@SuperBjanka]

Narcissistic abuse, a problem that are unspoken.

[@vigneshgandham3782]

Reminds me a lot of my current driving instructor. No amount of complaints does anything and the instructor seems to take pleasure in screaming at me. Even if I am in the middle of the exam and already scared shitless.

[@tanja26.11.]

Take care of yourself. All the best 🍀

[@EuroUser1]

In Ibiza (Spain), they say 'Want a champion in your family? Then train hard. And, meanwhile, let your children have fun practising their sport.'

[@PHlophe]

Those trainers' best technique to crush people mentally is always gaslighting . larry Nassar, its plenty of them about

So true...

[@mfg8129]

Another way of saying abuse of human rights.

[@norbert3776]

"Very surprised" yeah all of us too, at your incompetence to manage a sport institution.

[@ranvijayrao4209]

What about structural abuse of government in Divorce laws against males?

[@alanh8101]

My gosh this ain’t right poor girls 😔coach should be fired immediately. Charge him for abuse and mistreatment. Hope they recover from all the abuse 🙏🏻 Alan H

[@Traveler-rf8ye]

I feel like the coaches that act like that are the ones who are jealous and or angry about how their lives worked out or something. Sometimes those who can't... teach

[@Pixmosphere]

Larry Nassar in Germany? Disgusting. What the world has become.....

[@alllyrics9204]

Pray for you two young girl. All the best and God bless you both.

Terrible coaching and over site. Must stop across all sports.

[@qjtvaddict]

Umm replace coaches with robots and young people

[@maman89]

Right after the Vice piece. Guess abuse in sports is more common than you think

[@albertobeto5362]

Evil world... Full of garbage people to hurt and exploit others.

[@slavikslavko6059]

I think a result is what coach must pay attention for and provide sportsmen with all as much as possible under equality to each other.

[@jnusslein6301]

Quit the sport, it’s not humane

I would say that it’s legal upskirtng for camera people. It’s getting worse and worse. Good on you Germany. I’m Aussie BTW, so have no vested interest.

[@nothereandthereanywhere]

This is such a difficult topic to speak about, if you know what is involved. If you look at the professional gymnasts, they are skinny(no offence meant) to reduce the weight they have to lift and swing. Weight is everything. The distribution(you can't have strong hands, but weak legs) of body weight is everything to make sure the weight of the body is balances, manageable. Few extra kilos here or there and it will cost you better place. Is it fair? No. But if you want to seriously compete, you have no choice. You have to compete against the best and that means a very strong regime, rules. It does not bode well for everyone. It should not(I would not handle it). Do you want to be only average? You can join any gym you want. With the above said, I don't want to sound like I speak up for the teacher, all I want to say is when you sign up for something, be prepared for everything. It isn't for everyone. PS: To the girls - you aren't bad in any way, you are who you want to be and you are both really pretty. But please be warned, being excellent/amazing requires different different level of dedication.

Diese beiden Zwillingsschwestern Neomi und Ruby Van Dijk sind wunderschöne und erstaunliche Turnerinnen. Sie wären bei den Olympischen Spielen großartig gewesen. Sie ähneln den dänischen Schwestern in Dänemark, Sanne Wevers und Lieke. Sie sind immer schön in Bildern, in denen ich sie gesehen habe.

[@trueblood712]

Die Wever Schwestern kommen aus Holland

[@eisenstein99]

Hey, didn’t the US had the same problem too? Guess it’s a widespread problem. Let’s just ban gymnastics as a sport.

[@peace4myheart]

US was worse bc the gymnasts were sexually abused in addition to other abuses. Anyway, why punish the whole sport and the girls just bc the adults failed these kids. You don't ban driving just bc many drivers drive unsafely

[@qjtvaddict]

It’s global

[@qjtvaddict]

@@peace4myheart you sure other countries don’t have that too

I believe, that in light athletics they should introduce weight category system, like in the heavy. That would solve such issues.

[@qalitifemahasmetarmobej9011]

Google their names they are famous...

*Gymnastics It's a cut throat sport, only reserve for the best of the best, if they cant handle the pressure, then they need to move onto another sport.*

[@erwinhun]

Putting someone in prison for the rest of their life is a crime in itself, no matter what heinous act they have committed. The American justice system is barbaric. Today we consider burning, hanging and pulling out nails of convicts barbaric. Had we put it forward back then, we would have been met by angry objections highlighting the severity of the crime, and accusations of defending such acts. The matter of fact is that often no punishment is harsh enough to compensate the victims.

[@erwinhun]

@vlad wick Yeah, that's crazy. Inhumane.

[@mikeylejan8849]
