2012 Olympic high jump champion Anna Chicherova told that she had ended her career as an athlete and would focus on organizing children’s athletics tournaments.
In February 2022, Chicherova won the Russian Championship with a score of 1.94m. She will be 41 in July.
“I am ending my career as an athlete,” Chicherova told . – I will contribute to athletics, high jump, organizing my own children’s tournaments. And not only in Belaya Kalitva at home.
– Did you plan to become a coach?
– If you work as a coach, you have to ride for training camps all year round, just like athletes. But as they say, never say never.
– That is, tired of the travel regimen?
– Yes. I would like to stay at home for a while. If you train, you need to understand who to train – adults, teenagers, children.
– And there were no options to work in the VFLA?
No, I didn’t apply. I can be a coach on the basis of CSKA, share my experience with athletes.
