From Crimea to Olympic Bronze: Second Edition

By Anna Rizatdinova

In her first memoir, an elite athlete Anna Rizatdinova shares the tragic but instructive experience of her journey in Rhythmic Gymnastics from childhood in Ukraine to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Selfless work and devotion to her dream led her to success for many years despite internal and external difficulties, including weight loss problems, emotional breakdown, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Anna Rizatdinova never lost her positive outlook on life. In her darkest days, she found the strength within to fight until the end for what she believed in, and she possesses the willpower of a natural-born champion.

Throughout her life and media career, Anna Rizatdinova was able to save her sincere and open nature, which made her beloved in Ukraine. She opens up in an honest conversation with readers, revealing the backstage of Rhythmic Gymnastics and breaking common stereotypes about the sport, passing on her experience to future generations of gymnasts on how to cope with pre-competition stress, how to act and show results despite pressure, and how to achieve your goal. These memoirs are a collection of sports and feminine wisdom of a strong woman from Ukrainian Crimea.
