Last fall, a Solna trainer received harsh criticism for his training methods. In early March, coaches for mental abuse and weightlifting were convicted of 15-year-old JVM rider Selma Ihr. Selma Ihr was one of several riders who accused the coach.

The coach chose to appeal the decision of the Swedish Figure Skating Association's Ethics and Discipline Board.

Now the National Sports Commission, RIN, announces that the coach will be released.

RIN writes that "the rider appears credible", but believes that the allegations in the notification are not sufficiently precise. "It is natural that in such cases it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly when the various incidents took place and exactly what was said," RIN writes.

Had to report their weight

The National Sports Commission writes that it is proven that Selma Ihr had to report her weight every week, and RIN "does not question that recurring weight reporting may have been perceived as stressful and undue".

But the coach's information that it happened "for a limited period in connection with a rehabilitation from an injury" has not been disproved. Therefore, it cannot be proved that the coach "has had some undue intent".

In the decision, the National Sports Commission emphasizes the importance "of placing particularly high demands on respect and care when it comes to activities that include children and young people".
