2016 Olympic Games participant, 2018 European Judo Champion Irina Dolgova announced his retirement.
— The day has come when I close the chapter and open a new page in my life. I married the man of my dreams, I ended my career as a professional athlete and I enter, albeit cautiously, into a new life as an adult.
As I scroll through the pages of sporting life in my head, a smile appears on my face.
They were years that were both difficult and easy, funny and sad, everything happened… And if they ask me: “Would you like to repeat this path? I would answer “yes” without hesitation!
I am very grateful to judo, it brought me a whole range of emotions, friends, comrades, interesting people, many countries that I would never have visited in my entire life, the national team is like another small family! It was very cool! And I know for sure that an equally interesting life awaits me,” the 28-year-old judoka wrote on a social network.
