Kamila Grigorenko told how she was kicked out of Estonian national team
After European Championship, coaches Julia Tjomuskina and Irina Stadnik called Kamila and said that based on results of ECh, they need to improve group, so instead of her in team will be Valeria Valasevits. They said gymnast would not compete until September, blaming her for team's loss of medal at ECh.
But truth is that their goal is simply to have Valeria compete at World Championships since she failed to qualify from Europe.
During the year, Julia said she would go to WCh with Anette (Vaher) and would not miss group. But when Anette started losing, Julia said she would go to WCh anyway - in group, hinting at Kamila's removal.
At the same time, all this time, and especially actively before ECh, coaches were abusing gymnasts, including not only Kamila, but also Nika Oborskaja (who also left team because of it). They justify it with «motivation», explicitly admitted that tears were their goal, and also say that medal at the Junior World Championships confirms effectiveness of their methods. Gymnast kept list of insults from her coaches.
Ester Kreitsman was put in Nika's place. They said that she boosts team, but in fact routines was changed for her, throws were replaced by easier ones. Natalja Inno (president of federation) told Kamila's parents that Ester was just liked by everyone. Despite bad results at Estonian Championship, Irina said that Ester's place in national team was out of question.
Moreover, at the beginning of the year, gymnast had already given up on national team: she didn't go to training, and if she did show up, she sat in the locker room on her phone. Coaches had to take the phone away from her.
Coaches also openly admit that selection for national team is just a show to report to federation. Julia told Kamila that they wanted to take Victoria Puusepp because she was stronger, but she persuaded to take Ksenja Ozigina. Gymnast at that moment was injured and had not performed for a year.

Estonian news has already confirmed lineup change: Valeria Valasevits, Ester Kreitsman, Elys Kretelle Kukk, Polina Tubaleva, Johanna Simone Pertens, Ksenja Ozigina.
