Ksenia Afanasyeva has been posting some photos from a gym lately and the fans hoped that she might be coming back. Turns out she’s been getting into coaching more and started working as one of the national team floor coaches last month.
Valentina Rodionenko told TASS:
“Ksenia retired as an athlete. Her health did not allow her to give her 100% in training. She’s a mom already. But Afanasyeva didn’t give up on gymnastics since the 1st of March she’s working with us and helping to coach the national team. We’re very happy that Ksenia decided to become a coach. She’s really helping us with choreography, she’s helping to create the routines on floor – the event on which she was one of the strongest gymnasts in the world”.
