“Life circumstances sometimes are not as we would like. But if they asked me if I would like to go my sports way again, then in spite of the pain and problems that happened, I would say yes. Because I would again meet all the wonderful people, fans who sometimes believed in us more than we do. Sasha, you are the best partner in the universe. In mine, for sure, ”said Zabiyako.

Her partner Alexander Enbert added that the main thing in a sports career is the path that an athlete has traveled.

“Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you. The sports path tempers, teaches to cope with difficulties. At the beginning, you think that the main thing is medals. And when you look back, you realize that the main thing is the path that you have walked, and how you became a person. Thanks to the people who were with us, ”Enbert said.

Enbert and Zabiyako won the silver medals of the 2018 Olympics in team competitions, and also became bronze medalists of the World Cup and European Championship.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian tennis player Sharapova ended her career.
