Wait and see is the best policy. Russia might still need Tanya - I hope so.
If and when I hear anything more certain, I will post the information here. In the meantime, Happy Christmas to one of Russia's best competitors of the last four years, a stalwart team mate, great friend and entertaining gymnast.
If she is retiring, I'm extremely suprised. She seemed to be on her way back from injuries and other distractions and looked to be happier than ever. If she hadn't hit her head at Worlds, who knows what could've happened. She even won the AA in a competion in France this month so to see her saying goodbye is a WTF to me.
ReplyDeleteBut alas, if she is done, I hope she made the decision well and is fully behind it. I'm sure she'll make a good coach one day. Russia needs them just as much as they need gymnasts.
