Name Irina Viner evokes fear and respect. The coach made herself a brand, including through the tough methods of educating athletes.
To raise a successful gymnast, one must not only love her, but also keep her in a tight rein, she believes.
Irina Alexandrovna is famous for her steel character. She knows that not a single sports peak will be conquered without difficulty.
Alina Kabaeva, who won the Olympics under her leadership, has been malnourished throughout her career. Wiener forbade the gymnast to eat, as she is inclined to be overweight.
Training with Irina Viner is always to the last. Athletes leave the gym late at night, and the next day again on the carpet. And all for the sake of the result.
But even those who train a lot and are faithful to gymnastics are shamelessly humiliated by the coach. At one time, Margarita Mamun got it wrong.
Wiener insulted the gymnast on camera, and she only remained silent in response. She later became an Olympic champion. Although at one time the coach even wanted to buy this shameful moment of filming so that it would not become public.
