Hello, dear friends!

…From January of 2020, I wonโ€™t be on the national team because I will officially start working as a coach.

… I want to thank everyone and to sum up my careerโ€ฆ I gave 25 years of my life to gymnastics, went to 2 Olympics, 8 World Championships and 8 European Championships (not counting two junior ones). …

… Thanks to my national team colleagues, coaches, specialists, staff, fans, and everyone who helped me at different stages of my life. I remember all of you, I havenโ€™t forgotten anyone.

Your Kolyan.
