Evgenia Medvedeva spoke about how she managed to find calm despite never achieving the title of Olympic champion. The 26-year-old admitted that it took her many years, help from others, and accepting her own vulnerability. Here’s a translation of her comments.

“An athlete who has dedicated their whole life to this – on one hand, you achieve incredible success, but on the other hand, you fall just a little short [of gold]. Have you found peace with that?” actor Dmitri Pozov asked Medvedeva on the show “BeS kommentariyev.”

“Through soul-searching. Through many years. Accepting that you need help. Having the right people around you. Admitting your own weakness. Recognizing that you can’t change anything anymore, and you can only move forward. And then, one day, everything turns out fine, and you become calmer,” Evgenia shared.
