Aliya Mustafina has said that she will begin training again in December, says Andrei Rodionenko, and he believes that she is strong-willed enough to make the transition back into competitive gymnastics. Adding that it would be a first for the Russian team, Rodionenko clearly believes that Aliya could still bring a certain something to the sport with her unique determination.
āMy daughter likes gymnastics. For us, this is the big successā. Aliya Mustafina talks to Match TV
Via VK.com. Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below ā Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? š My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ā Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? š We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions.

ReplyDeleteShe may change her mind after having the baby. I planned lots of things before giving birth but completely changed my mind after the babies arrived!
ReplyDeleteMustafina is MY favorite GYMNAST, however I agree, I can not see here training 9 hours a day with a baby at home. Of course women work 8 - hours a day with kids, but she is doing skills that are so physically demanding. As selfish as it is for me to want her back, she has spoken endlessly about wanting children. What an amazing mother she will make. (secretly praying 'COME BACK")
DeleteCan you say Oksana Chutsovitina? She was still competing 16 years after giving birth to her son.
DeleteRussia better not count on her coming back. If Russia's best hope for 2020 is Mustafina coming out of retirement, then Russia is going to the way of Romania.
DeleteAliya Mustafinas new and big interview for russian media. She says that she relly want's to participated in Tokyo Olympics and to help her team :) about her upcoming motherhood and her husband, about euros in Cluj and Simone Biles as a competitor( she was very diplomatic and did not succumb to provocation ) and many other things:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3wITW06eY0
