Double Olympic champion in synchronized swimming Vlada Chigireva said she would undergo surgery on March 11 due to a leg injury.
The 29-year-old athlete was injured at the end of 2023.
— Tomorrow I have to undergo an operation on my right knee, it is the fourth operation of my life. On December 27, just during rehearsal before performing at the “Olympic Champions Show,” I suffered a primary dislocation of my patella. Now I have recovered from the dislocation – I straightened and bent my leg, pumped up my muscles and now I am completely ready for the operation,” Chigireva wrote on her Telegram channel.
After the 2020 Tokyo Games, Chigireva performed solo in competitions and participated in shows.
