Posted March 29, 2010

Two-time Olympic champion Olga Medvedtseva decided to complete a career.

- Actually, I did not yesterday agreed to this, and did not even last week - quoting Medvedtseva official website of the RRF. - Preparing for the Olympic season, I clearly understood that the Olympics in Vancouver will become final in my career. Do not want to rush, did not want to interfere, there were some conversations. Just wanted to concentrate before a responsible start. So, I think, a speech on the Kamchatka Peninsula will be the last for me in his career.

- Do you think the final season of his career you succeed?

- Of course, this was a difficult season. If you look at things objectively, it is not the best, although the Games, we won the relay gold. But, nevertheless, Olympic gold medal is, and why this is not a good note to finish?

- We returned to the sport for the sake of the gold medal?

- Yes, I realize now that was worth back, start all over again, to suffer, to go contrary to survive all this. Believe me, I am now very sad, so I do not want noisy wires, it's - more tears. Here, in Khanty-Mansiysk, we have already said goodbye to Nikolai Kruglov, and it is very difficult ...

- You do not seem to go, after all, still too early?

- Sooner or later, it had to happen, and I also have age-athlete, should probably give the green light to youth, which should rise, to evolve to the Games in Sochi to look dignified.
