Retirement

[edit]

On 26 February 2013, at a press conference led by Russian head coach Irina Viner, it was suggested that Dmitriyeva might retire from competition due to a recurring leg injury from severe stress,[10] however her personal coach, Olga Buyanova, said she was only pausing her career in order to heal.[11] She underwent surgery in Germany for her ankle ligament injury.[12]

On 4 September 2013, Dmitriyeva announced her retirement, saying "I have finished competing and am moving on to the next phase of my life. I have finally decided on what I want to do in the future - try my hand at different areas. I convey my sincere good wishes back a thousandfold to all those people who wrote to me and still support and root for me. I am very grateful to all these people."[13] Buyanova stated: "She has decided to end her career. It was her own decision and we have no right to challenge it. Not forgetting that her departure in the sport is associated with quite a serious injury, in the world of gymnastics time plays the most important role and the mode of intensive training and competitions can often have a very serious impact on the career of an athlete".[14]

On February 15, 2015, a star-studded gala was held in Russia for the 80th founding anniversary of rhythmic gymnastics. The venue was held in the historical Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.
