According to the former athlete, she did not understand what happened to her and did not receive the necessary medical care.
“When I studied with my first coach, she had a specific approach to work. I was number one, so there was a lot of pressure on me. Our sport is quite traumatic, there are no healthy people. I suffered most of my injuries due to the trainer’s unprofessional method; I was overtrained. In the totality of everything that happened, I had a stroke, but I only found out about it at the age of 18, when I was studying in rehabilitation.
Initially, I didn’t even notice that I was having a stroke. This happened when I was 14 years old. I just returned home after another difficult workout and passed out. Half an hour later I woke up and realized that I could not move or speak. This lasted about 40 minutes, then speech began to return. The next day I told the coach about this, unfortunately, she was not able to recognize that it was a stroke. Therefore, I was not given proper help and treatment. During training I was told not to do jumping. But there was no rest or rehabilitation. Sometimes I still have problems with speech because of this,” quotes words Torosyan Sport24.
Torosyan is a master of sports of the Russian Federation in rhythmic gymnastics, champion of Moscow, winner of international and all-Russian competitions.
