"I have come to the realization that this is the end." Russian figure skater Maria Sotskova decided to end her sports career. http://instagram.com/p/CCYeMVypSM6 “When you first felt the taste of victory, it seems to you that this will never end. Unfortunately, this is not so, and it all ends sometime! My path was thorny, but very interesting and colorful. I had the best mentors, each in its own way unique and loved. I was lucky to work with a large and friendly team. I am grateful to God for my parents who gave me such a life, supported my every move, experienced my every fall and rejoiced in every victory. The time has come to tell you about my feelings, experiences that I kept for a very long time. http://instagram.com/p/CCD6wZUAMQu An unsuccessful season followed after the Olympics, but I knew that these were temporary difficulties that I could overcome. Realizing that I had not yet revealed my full potential, I fought. I always had sincere love for everything I did. But there are circumstances that slowly destroyed my faith, put so impassable obstacles, and the realization came that this is the end. The end of my sports career. There were factors that in no way shook my strength, but did not allow me to fight, despite my desire. Even the long and difficult work with psychologists was not able to help properly. After hard experiences, my health problems started, which finally led to such a difficult decision for me. Unable to turn back the clock. One message does not fit all that is important for me to say. My soul is torn. With tears in my eyes, I remember and all my life I will remember people who put their strength, faith, time and love into me. No words are enough to express what is in my soul,” Sotskova wrote. Sotskova - silver medalist of the Grand Prix finals in the 2017/18 season, winner and medalist of international tournaments, silver and bronze medalist of the Russian championship. She participated in the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, where she took 8th place. |

Russian skater María Sótskova, silver at the Grand Prix in Nagoya (Japan), announced on Wednesday that she is retiring from professional sport due to health issues.
The young athlete, 20, made this announcement in a message on Instagram in which she explains that after a series of defeats, she began to have "health problems" that finally forced her to make "the difficult decision" to abandon figure skating .
These defeats, Sótskova points out, prevented her from continuing to fight, "despite all the desire he had to do so," and then "he concluded that this is the end."
The athlete wrote that resorting to the help of psychologists also did not contribute to improving her health.
The skater stressed that she has always loved what she did but the circumstances in which she was involved left her with no choice but to retire.
"My soul breaks. I review my life with tears in my eyes and I remember the people who believed in me, gave me strength, love and dedicated their time to me, I will always remember them," he concluded.
During her sports career, Sótskova twice held fourth place in the European Figure Skating Championship and twice finished eighth in the world championship. EFE
