“My decision is irreversible: it's over. Today, I officially turn the page. I say goodbye to figure skating. It is an indescribable relief. A feeling of freedom like I haven't experienced in a very long time. "

The author is a figure skater. He ranked 9th in a couple with his partner at the time, Julianne Séguin, at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
At thetime of writing, I still haven't announced it to my coaching team or my partner, Lubov Ilyushechkina.
But my decision is irreversible: it's over. Today, I officially turn the page. I say goodbye to figure skating.
It is an indescribable relief. A feeling of freedom like I haven't experienced in a very long time.
At the same time, I feel guilty and I fear the moment when I will have to tell them. I know it will be a blow to Lubov and to Richard Gauthier, our head coach. But for once, I want to listen to myself, follow my instincts and above all, take the time to explore what life without skating can offer me.
Thereality is that I embarked on this project when I already had a knee on the ground. Exhausted in recent years, I have revived with great fanfare with a new partner, like a good workaholic.
