So I guess they don't mind rybak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,793 Posted October 6 #7 Share Posted October 6 There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia. The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty. Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future. We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.

I read the story a few months ago on an Italian rhythmic gymnastics blog, it all seems paradoxical to me. Apparently everything is the fault of her mother, who if I understand correctly is also her manager. Among other things, she is supposed to go with the Armenian national team, but her father says nothing is decided yet. I feel very sorry for Elvira, victim of a situation that is not under her control and which she will pay dearly for, since (rightly) the Bulgarian committee has forbidden her to use leotards, music and exercises. By the way, not even her coach knew anything, she is devastated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure very few are faulting Elvira in this situation. Edited October 7 by Federer91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Bulgaria offered a BIG salary increase to Elvira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
