The Olympic champion of the Games-1972 in artistic gymnastics Olga Korbut accused her coach Renald Knysh of rape.

About this Olga told on the air of the Russian program "Let them talk".

The athlete admitted that this happened on the eve of the Games in Munich, when she turned 17 years old.

"This is the truth with which I live. I hid it all because I was ashamed. This happened in Minsk in the hotel "Jubilee". Right before the Olympics.

It's true. Let him say anything. You must bear this sin that you did. And not only with me, Renald Ivanovich. I respect you as a coach, but as a man, I'm sorry, you are nobody to me, "Olga said..

During the program, the presenter called Knysh, who in response accused the athlete of lying.

It should be noted that Korbut has six Olympic awards. The most successful for the sportswoman was the Games in Munich, where Olga won three "gold" and one "silver". Now she lives in the USA.

Recall last year, the Ukrainian two-time Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Tatiana Gutsa accused of rape of the Belarusian gymnast Vitaly Shcherbo.
