I am very grateful to all these people."[12] 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".[13]
