Athletistic / Synchronized swimming. Russian synchronized swimmer Anastasia Bayandina, who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics as part of the French national team, spoke about her plans for the future. According to her, after finishing her sports career, she plans to stay in France.
“Today I think I will stay in France. After studying in Russia, where I obtained a coaching diploma, I had to study in France for three years to receive the equivalent of the same diploma. Of course, we had training in French. Thank you Professor at the National Institute of Sports of Insep.
Insep is a large sports base. There are more types of sports there than there were on Lake Krugloye, it is located on the basis of a university, that’s why it has its own professors and teachers.
The job of a coach is a well-trodden path. Just in case. This is a highly sought-after position in France. There are very few synchronized swimming coaches here. As soon as we arrived from Russia, my sister and I were immediately asked if it was possible to bring a Russian coach. Now I am taking a break from synchronized swimming, I just want to take a break from sports, “Bayandina was quoted as saying by Sport-Express.
The Russian synchronized swimming team won 12 gold medals at the Olympic Games. Since February 2022, Russian synchronized swimmers have been deprived of the opportunity to participate in international competitions due to the politicization of the sport.
