My friend in Finland just sent me an email, the content is about Kiira Korpi releasing a book about her skating career. I can not read the book in Finnish but below are what she summarized for me: In her book, Kiira openly expressed some bad sides of the figure skating (continue)
In her book, Kiira mentioned eating disorders (Kiira herself admitted she had one), she also mentioned sexual harassment (she never experienced herself but she knows many went through it, she also gave examples), she also mentioned abusive domineering coaches (continue).
In her career, Kiira says she was never bullied but she has seen and been told a lot. She said Rafael treats skaters harshly, shouts, and yells at them. Kiira said Rafael never mistreated her but he treated other skaters not as nice. Ash was called cow regularly. (continue)
Kiira did not have many nice words about DW who did some programs for her. She said DW did not take notice many things the skaters want to say. It is like he only adjusted all details the way he wanted. She also said DW was always late, sometimes even many hours. (continue)
Kiira mentioned something like DW acted as the boss during choreographing as if he was an artistic genius. Kiira eventually changed to Shae and Shae had totally different and good attitude to work also taking notice of skaters input and feelings. (Please stay with Shae, Yuzu).
