The wonderful Aussie Olympian Dasha Joura has a talented younger sister – Natalia Joura.
But in the recent Australian Youth Olympic Festival Natalia had a rotten meet.
Sadly, she was injured under-rotating double pike dismount on Floor. In the words of one observer there, the treatment she got from the coach after the injury was : “disgusting beyond words”.
See for yourself. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Another spectator, quoted on Australian Gymnastics Blog:
Saddest moment of the day had to be when Natalia fell on her last pass on floor and hurt her ankle. Her coach was sitting only a few steps away and could clearly see that she was in pain but did nothing to assist her. She limped a little bit then was forced to crawl to him. Whilst sitting next to him he continued to ignore her. …
I recommend Natalia find a new coach. One that cares for the person, not only the performance.
… Unfortunately her coach is Vladimir Joura, her Father.
