I hope that I can be an example for young people, that things happen with hard work and perseverance, they never come easily. This is what gymnast Borjana Kalein said in an emotional interview during her first television appearance after winning the silver medal in the individual competition at the Olympic Games in Paris.
“The truth is that it is still very difficult for me to realize what exactly I achieved in these Olympic Games. Thank you to the people who met us at the airport last night despite the late hour, waited despite the delay of our flight. I love them!” said Boryana Kalein, silver medalist at the Paris Games.
The gymnast shared that one of her most emotional moments at the Olympics in Paris was the reaction of her personal trainer Marijana Pamukova after the last routine.
The words of my personal trainer after the last combination were the strongest, when we both knew that we had done our job and given it our best. She told me she was proud of me and loved me. We were both very confident in our abilities going into this race and were confident that with a bit of luck things would work out as they did,” added Kalein.
She explained that she has been working with Pamukova for 18 years.
“People saw what I can really show on the field. Unfortunately, a person’s journey is never all up, there are also downs. I experienced many downs, but I think it was those moments that helped me on race days to show that , which I can.”
“My favorite were the bats, because they recreate the most difficult moments I’ve been through,” said the grace.
