Two former national team gymnasts have opened up to DW to share their experiences of bullying and mistreatment in the sport. They say the problems in Germany are wider than previously reported. Earlier this year, reports in German news magazine Der Spiegel uncovered wide-ranging allegations of abuse at an elite training center in Chemnitz. A dozen other gymnasts have come forward to accuse the head coach in Chemnitz, Gabriele Frehse, of bullying them and making them train through injuries.
