Моscow, October 16th – Silver medallist at the 2012 London Olympics, Ksenia Afanasyeva, will continue
her career in artistic gymnastics.
Her mandate as Deputy at the city elections in Bogoroditsk won't lead to her leaving gymnastics, stated Afanasyeva in an interview she gave to the Russian Ministry of Sport’s website.
"After the end of a sports career, life must go on. I won’t be
always in sport. Nevertheless, I don’t intend to quit any time soon. My future aims are the Russian Championships, the European Championships and the 2013 Universiade.
I want to become Deputy because I want to help people. I’ll have the opportunity to do so in the city’s council. Bogoroditsk is located in the Tula region, where I come from. I have families who live near the city. They support me in this enterprise ", said Afanasyeva.

Nobody photographs as beautifully as Kseniia, I swear her gymnastics doesn't have a bad moment.
ReplyDeleteGood for her, hopefully she can make a difference, but I know that Khorkina did politics as well, not sure if she was able to make a difference.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that Ksenia would be doing something else and not coaching as many do.
