Elena, the bereaved mother of the deceased daughter, expressed her “deepest gratitude” to the physicians, critical care nurses, and emergency paramedics who battled to save the life of sad Anastasia.
The 51-year-old coach Vladimir Miroshnichenko, according to the mother, had positioned her daughter and the male pupil across from one another and “turned away” when the 7-foot javelin was thrown.
The mother said that Timur didn’t warn the girl until it was too late. “Not before he threw the spear, but he called out to her right then and there,” she added.
“The spear struck her in the eye as she raised her head.” Reports state that the schoolgirl suffered a shattered jaw and a punctured eye socket.
Her internal bleeding into her lungs started. On May 31, tragic Anastasia would have turned 14.
