Athletistic / Artistic gymnastics. Russian Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Nikita Nagorny has said when he plans to announce the end of his sports career.
“I am still preparing for the Olympics. (Laughs.) When the decision was made that they wanted to deport us, I was already mentally preparing myself for the fact that we would not go to Paris.
I am slowly coming to the conclusion of my professional retirement. To announce this, I must understand that I no longer want to play, but I need something heavy, conscious, big. When will I understand that I am changing my life not to sit somewhere and do something, but to the area where I will be most useful, where I can make a greater contribution to the same gymnastics, to its development, than being an athlete, “Match TV quoted Nagorny as saying.
In early July, Nikita Nagorny’s YouTube channel was blocked on the grounds that the 27-year-old Russian was on the US sanctions list at the end of June. Note that this is due to the fact that Nikita holds the position of head of the main headquarters of the All-Russian military-patriotic movement “Yunarmiya”.
At the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan), Nikita Nagorny won gold in the team all-around competition, as well as bronze in the individual all-around and on the high bar.
