Pauline Schafer, the 2017 world champion on balance beam, is among the gymnasts to complain of mistreatment. A German gymnastics coach has been removed from her post at an Olympic training centre after an investigation found she mistreated athletes. The German Gymnastics Union commissioned an investigation which found evidence of “psychological violence” in 17 incidents. The board of the gymnastics union recommended in January that Frehse should be fired from the training centre. She told the German gymnastics website Gymmedia on Monday that she planned to ask a court to have her reinstated.
