Tatyana Lebedeva - Russian athlete, Olympic champion, multiple world and European champion, decided to leave the big sport after performing at the Olympic competitions in London. The jumper does not hide the reasons that prompted her to end her sports career.
The debut of the athlete took place back in 2000 at the Sydney Olympics. Young Tatiana Lebedeva took away the silver medal for the triple jump from Australia. After that, the career of a Russian girl went uphill. Four years later, in Athens, the athlete has already won a whole set of awards - a bronze medal for a triple jump and gold for a long jump. Even later, the Russian woman took away from Beijing two silver medals in both disciplines.
The family life of Tatyana Lebedeva also developed successfully. She gave birth to her first child in the fall of 2002. At that moment, the little daughter did not interfere with her mother's sports career - Tatyana managed to combine motherhood and achieving the highest results at the stadiums. However, in 2011, the athlete gave birth to her second child and decided to leave the world of sports.
Tatyana Lebedeva decided to put a fat point at the Summer Olympics in London. Indeed, an Olympic award would be a worthy end to the career of a famous athlete. However, on the eve of the performance, the Russian woman injured her calf muscle. And although Tatiana underwent a complex of recovery procedures, unpleasant sensations were still present during the competition. As a result, the athlete, according to the results of her jump, took only the tenth line.
However, Tatiana is not too upset. Failure at the London Olympics did not affect her decision to retire from the sport. Now the former athlete has many ideas and plans. Upon returning to her homeland, Tatyana Lebedeva is going to undergo a medical examination, and then she will continue the work she was doing before. The winner of three Olympiads became interested in deputy activities and entered the academy. Tatiana also works in the athletics federation, which has already become native to her, heading the commission of athletes, and hopes to continue her career in this area.
