How is Steliana Nistor doing?
I am a student at the Lucian Blaga faculty from Sibiu, I take care of my health and, for the rest, nothing…
Stela, how is not to do gymnastics anymore?
To be honest, it’s very difficult, because since childhood I have liked very much gymnastics, and I still like it. I would have wished and liked very much to be able to continue, but the health doesn’t allow me anymore. I cannot say I don’t have pain anymore, I am always going to have. Indeed, the back pain I have, it is a continue pain, but the pain in my arm (hand) is stronger than during the Olympics.
Tell me, I know you were at some point taking into account the possibility of coming back (0.001% chances)
Yes, I was about to come back, but I came to the conclusion that I am not able to do gymnastics anymore, so I thought, again, at my health.
Would you like to continue being involved in gymnastics, to coach for example?
Yes, I’ll continue being involved, I am going to become a coach, I really want that. But I need to finish my studies first.
