Athletistic/Cycling. Cyclist Valeria Lyubimova shared her decision to join the French team.

In the summer of 2023, Lyubimova acquired French nationality and joined the BMX Pole France team.

“We left Russia because of the current situation, which we could not accept.

I chose France because everything is better organized here. In Russia, everyone trains alone, but in France there are structures that allow you to obtain serious results.

Over the past two years, I have faced considerable challenges. If I manage to qualify for the 2024 Olympics, it will be wonderful,” Lyubimova said, according to Le Parisien.
