Amelia Cline was a serious athlete with a love of gymnastics as a young child, but Cline says everything changed when Vladimir Lashin and his wife Svetlana arrived as the new coaching team.
"I was fearless," she told CNN from her home in Vancouver."Every child likes to learn how to flip, all of my early memories are pretty happy and joy-filled, which they should be." At the age of two, Cline says that her interest was obvious to her parents by the way she'd be pulling"little baby chin-ups," at the kitchen counter.Soon she had developed into a serious athlete.
Notably, according to the lawsuit, Vladimir was named as a coach for Team Canada at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and then promoted to National Coach/High Performance Director in Women's Artistic Gymnastics in 2009.Cline gave up on her dream to be a gymnast at the age of 13.
As a young gymnast, Cline described herself as"fearless."Since going public with her story about her life as a young gymnast in a 2020 blog, Cline says she has been flooded with messages from athletes all over the country, whose stories echo her own. She has also spoken with survivors from all over the world."If you put our stories side by side and you removed our names," she said,"you wouldn't be able to tell who's who.
