Diana Varinska officially retired

Fan favourite, Diana Varinska, has hung up her grips.

She’ll be remembered for her 2019 European Games all-around and balance beam bronze medals. Additionally, she was a member of the team that won Ukraine’s first European team title at the 2020 European Championships. 

Her teammate Anastasia Bachynska also stopped training.

Ukraine finished 12th in 2022. The future does not look bright for the women’s team.

Thanks for all the good years, Diana.
