Judoka Natalia Kouzyutina told that she has no regrets about not becoming an Olympic champion.
Kuzyutina won a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
— After the bronze medal in Rio, has your life changed in any way?
– Certainly not. They began to recognize me more often, but there was no significant change. I remember when I lost the fight, I cried in the locker room because I wasn’t going to become Olympic champion. Ezio Gamba came up to me and said: “Pull yourself together, we have to fight for third place. You have to earn this medal.
— Do you regret not becoming Olympic champion?
– Not now. Apparently, she matured and wisdom came. You have to be able to accept. If every morning I tell myself: “I once didn’t win Olympic gold,” then I will have no chance to improve my life. It’s already in the past. I won’t be able to pick up a broken vase. It’s good that there is a bronze medal,” Kuzyutina said in an interview with .
In late 2022, Kuzyutina made her MMA debut and won her first fight. His professional record is 5-1. In December 2023, the athlete won the championship belt of the American LFA Championship by defeating Brazilian Giovanna Canuto.
