Today we spent the whole day going to clinics, taking all the necessary photos, visiting many doctors, everyone says the knee needs rest. No matter how much I rush into the water and look for “workarounds” to achieve, it is simply impossible, the injury turned out to be really serious.

To say that I am depressed is an understatement, I was really preparing for this festive period of performances and I wanted to show you all the best both in the show of the Olympic champions and in the fairy tale, but it happens in life, for a reason it happens. I will understand what this is for only later, but for now I have time to readjust during the holidays, ”Chigireva wrote on her Telegram channel.
