Psychologists analyzed the debaucheries of figure skater Gallyamov

Psychologist Alyona Lenkovskaya explained the strange behavior of the Olympic champion in team competitions, Russian figure skater Alexander Gallyamov, who, together with his partner, won silver at the Russian championships.

In conversation with aif.ru On Wednesday, December 24, the specialist noted that "in Alexander's case, it is definitely worth considering that he is an athlete and very successful." According to her, professional failures — or what they perceive as such — can be especially acute for people with a certain character and upbringing. In such cases, people often identify their work mistakes with their own personality.

"And then the failure is attributed to the fact that he, as a person and a professional, began to pass. All this creates an internal conflict, which often turns into an external conflict," the specialist explained.

This, according to Lenkovskaya, is why Alexander's conflicts with others and his defiant behavior are connected. In her opinion, the athlete needs understanding and support.

The psychologist added that aggression is often associated with various fears — loss of form, professional decline or loss of leadership positions. In some cases, it becomes a way to cope with anxiety, and regular outbursts of aggression can indicate a personal crisis.

Psychologist Irina Krasnova noted that emotional instability is typical for male athletes of this age. We are talking about high expectations and burnout, but there is no reason to talk about Gallyamov's retirement from big-time sports: he has high ambitions, a leadership mentality and a desire to be only the first, which is why he was not ready to give in.
