Athletistic/ Others. Russian gymnast Liliya Akhaimova has made an important decision. She announced her retirement from her sports career.

– I would like to announce the end of my sporting career. It was a long, difficult and incredibly interesting journey. It all started at the age of 5 in Vladivostok, when my parents took me to the gym and I fell in love. There have been many victories along my path, but there have also been many defeats. In moments when it was very difficult, you rely only on yourself, you take all your will in your fist and you go towards victory, because you have a dream and a goal. In 20 years of career, I have become convinced that the impossible is possible,” said Akhaimova.

At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Liliya Akhaimova won gold in the team all-around.
