Pictured: Schoolgirl, 13, killed when javelin thrown during PE lesson went through her EYE

This is the tragic schoolgirl who died after she was speared through the eye by a javelin during a school PE lesson.

Anastasia Ryzhenko, 13, lay in a coma in hospital for four days but never regained consciousness.

She was hit when a boy named Timur, 16, who, it is alleged, was not properly supervised, threw a javelin during the training session in Prokhladny, Russia.

Friends posted heartfelt messages to tragic Anastasia.

‘We will never forget you, my love,’ said one.

A friend Darya posted: ‘Kingdom of heaven, our baby.’

The dead girl’s grieving mother Elena posted her ‘deepest gratitude’ to ambulance paramedics, doctors and intensive care nurses who fought to save tragic Anastasia’s life.

Earlier the mother claimed the coach Vladimir Miroshnichenko, 51, had placed her daughter and the male student opposite each other and ‘turned away’ when the 7ft javelin was thrown.

Timur only called out a warning to the girl when it was too late, the mother alleged.

‘Not before throwing the spear, but at that very moment he threw it, then he called out to her,’ she said.

‘She raised her head, and the spear hit her in the eye.’

The schoolgirl’s eye socket was pierced and her jaw broken, according to reports.

She began to bleed internally into the lungs. Tragic Anastasia would have turned 14 on May 31.

The Russian Investigative Committee is probing the incident but has not announced its conclusions yet. Both the victim and the thrower were keen young javelin athletes.

The javelin training in remote Kabardino-Balkaria region was not at a specially equipped base but on an ordinary field at Kolos sport school.

‘The boy’s mother does not admit her son’s guilt at all,’ said Elena.

‘During all this time, she never came. And the coach didn’t come, only on the day of the funeral.

‘As a mother, I would have crawled on my knees pleading: ‘Forgive me, excuse me, maybe I can help, let me at least take you there?’

‘Not a single one came, they didn’t say: “Forgive me, excuse me”.

‘Yes, I understand that I don’t need their “forgive me”. No one could bring her daughter back’, she said.

A local social activist and blogger Anastasia Yemelyanova also raised safety concerns.

‘During a javelin throwing training session, a boy accidentally hit a girl. The girl lay in a coma for several days and died without regaining consciousness,’ she posted in a video.

‘A terrible tragedy. Simply unimaginable. It is simply beyond the comprehension of any normal person what the parents are feeling now….

‘I am a mother myself and I cannot even imagine such a thing and do not want to. [This happened] without bothering with child safety standards in advance…without bothering…

‘The child is dead. I just can’t wrap my head around how this can happen, how this can happen.’

She said Miroshnichenko and the athletes had used a field ‘without bothering with child safety standards in advance’.

A security guard who let them use the facilities had been fired, she said.

‘Sports schools, coaches, physical education teachers, because this can happen too,’ she said.

‘Do you even think with anything? Do you think with your head or with anything when you do something? You work with children, you understand? With children!

‘They are not adults who understand the consequences of their actions. And these are children! And since you work with them, you should anticipate everything and comply with safety standards.’

The committee has opened a criminal case into Anastasia’s death.

The boy ‘left without the supervision of the teacher conducting the lesson, threw a javelin, which hit the head of an underage pupil of the school born in 2011,’ it said in a statement.

‘The victim was immediately taken to a medical facility to receive medical assistance, where she died a few days later from the injuries she received.’

The statement said: ‘The investigation has studied all the circumstances of the incident, interrogated eyewitnesses, employees of the sports school and the relevant ministry, seized documentation regulating the procedure for conducting field training sessions and ensuring safety, and other measures are being taken to collect evidence.

‘The actions of those responsible will be given a proper legal assessment.’

It was not clear whether the coach – who has not commented on the girl’s death – had been detained pending the investigation.
