Russian athlete Aksana Gataullina on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on the channel, she stated that she was not considering the possibility of changing her sports citizenship.
– My father is a coach, it’s always as objective as possible. I like pole vaulting for a form of freedom. It’s more acceleration and flight, controlled flight. As a child, they dissuaded me for a long time, they said that it was hard work, to which you had to devote your whole life.
I was offered different options: to sing, to draw, to become a doctor. At one point, I thought about going this route. But, I do athletics, I was successful at first. All the prerequisites were for the pole vault.
Change of nationality? Of course not, I love my country,” said Gataullina, 21.
Gataullina in 2022 became the silver medalist of the Russian indoor championship.
