I have decided to end my 15-year journey with skating, which has been my everything, and start a new life. There have been many tough moments, and many times I wanted to quit. Thanks to the coaches who stood by me and supported me, I was able to come this far and find the strength to continue. ☺️ I have deliberated a lot before making the decision to retire! I would be grateful if you could continue to support my new life, just as you have always done.
Thank you for being there for me; it has been a great source of strength, and it has helped me endure the tough days. I am truly grateful for your support.”
