Olympic figure skating champion Dmitry Solovyov says he started stuttering after a head injury from a beating. Earlier it became known that the athlete went to reconcile with those who attacked him.
– Is the Russian Figure Skating Federation somehow involved in the rehabilitation process?
– Tatyana Navka helped me a lot in the most difficult period – she immediately made it clear that she is ready to provide any assistance whenever needed. Everyone who was with me during the years of the show said the same thing: Sasha Zhulin, Sergey Georgievich Petukhov, Petr Durnev, Dima Ionov. As I said to all of them, my second family. We have been through so much together in sports and non-sports life that we have become really close people. My Anya was very supportive – she took on absolutely all the current affairs: certificates, documents, calls, interviews, medicines, bring, take …
In general, when there are people like my mother Anya, my manager Lena Bolotova, who constantly support me, you begin to understand that this is the most important thing a person needs in life. And these people need to be protected.
Do you still need medical help?
– I did a lot of work and continued to work with a speech therapist, I noticed that after a head injury I noticeably began to stutter, and in general it seems to me that the dynamics are very good. From time to time there are problems with pressure, headaches, but they are already insignificant. I am generally optimistic. Even when I feel bad, I think everything is fine. So I have no doubt that I can recover. It just takes more time than we would like. Moreover, even doctors still cannot give exact estimates, ”Soloviev said in an interview with RT.
