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
