As a figure skater who competed in individual events, I chose the best for myself. From now on, athletes, even if they are used to (playing) as a team, choose (their) path themselves. And the public must make a choice, I will watch, sport is my life, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Medvedeva’s words.
