Не хочется вдаваться во все подробности, но реабилитация после болезни проходит не легко и требует времени. Ожидала , что все пройдёт легче . Тяжёлый режим тренировок , выступление , стресс , нагрузки никак не совместить с периодом восстановления. Я искренне надеялась и верила . Но увы …появились новые последствия… и после консультации и советов врачей , мы с семьёй приняли решение о перерыве в спорте. Вернусь ли я на выступательный ковёр? Время покажет… Все будет зависеть от моего здоровья. Для меня гимнастика- это важная часть моей жизни…Но сейчас важнее заниматься здоровьем. Я знаю, что многие болельщики меня ждали в Токио, мне очень жаль, что на Олимпиаде меня не будет. Но это жизнь. Хочу пожелать удачи всем участникам Олимпийских игр и нашей сборной Украины 🇺🇦 Это решение далось мне достаточно сложно, поэтому надеюсь на вашу поддержку 💜 #vladanikolchenko #олимпиада #olympics #tokyo2020 #олимпиадатокио #гимнастика #спорт #olympicgames #rhythmicgymnastics"".
