Klimenco fue su entrenador, pero no fue tan exitosa como Elena Mukhina. Eso demuestra que puedes tener un “buen entrenador”, pero si no tienes una gimnasta talentosa y con la calidad de Mukhina , tus logros no serán muy exitosos. Esto lo comentó porque le restregaron a Mukhina que llegó a ser campeona gracias a su entrenador.
Pero realmente fue la calidad y talento de Mukhina quien hizo famoso a Klimenko.
