“The doctors don’t say anything good.” Russia is afraid of losing the great champion
Olympic record holder Larisa Latynina was hospitalized. What is known about the condition of the former athlete?
Record holders for the number of victories and medals at the Olympic Games in gymnastics Larisa Latynina hospitalized right before the New Year holidays. Information about the state of health of the great champion destroys the contradictory, and even the most optimistic rumors make you worry.
Judging by the news feeds and comments, it would not be a big exaggeration to say that all sports Russia is afraid of losing the famous gymnast. Too serious.
“You Can Expect Anything”
Nine-time Olympic champion in gymnastics Larisa Latynina, on the eve of the new year 2023, ended up in storage. The illustrious 88-year-old athlete was hospitalized not condemned before her birthday, and all the holidays were not spent in the most joyful atmosphere. The future state became known only the day before, when the head coach of the Russian national gymnastics team, Valentina Rodionenko, reported on the state of Soviet gymnastics.
– Latynina is in a normal stable condition, not severe. This was not a planned hospitalization; before his birthday, which was December 27, he had a heart attack and she was hospitalized. Not the first heart attack. Doctors do not say anything good, you can expect anything. We are worried about our own and the expected, – the provision of Match TV with Rodionenko’s words.
It was not possible to visit Larisa Semyonovna, and the doctors did not have to, and, as Rodionenko said, Latynina herself advised not to rush the visit. And although talk of possible states has instilled optimism, there are still reasons for concern. True, another Soviet Olympic champion, Lidia Ivanova, who won the Games in Melbourne and Rome with her friend, said that there was no heart attack.
– The person is aged, there are some concomitant diseases. The daughter took her to the reception. Every day he speaks with Larisa 3-4 times, we are close friends. Just an hour ago, they wished a good night to a friend.
No, you don’t need to be scared. Her health is normal. She is in good conditions, I think she has been in the hospital for two weeks, Ivanova told Match TV.
“Overall I did well”
The third version was voiced by the director of the Sports School of the Olympic Reserve in artistic gymnastics Larisa Latynina Olga Korkich, who also seems to keep in touch with the Olympic champion and her family. She did not confirm heart problems, but at the same time she reported a microstroke.
I don’t know anything about the arrest. She had a microstroke, she was admitted to the clinic for an additional examination. I am in touch with her, and with the family, with her daughter. They hired a nurse to look after her. Probably now she was generally well behaved, – RIA Novosti Sport quotes Korkich.
The President of the Russian Artistic Gymnastics Federation (FSGR), Vasily Titov, did not add clarity to this situation, noting only that he had no right to disclose personal information. But at the same time, it is stated that the federation of speed is Latynina.
From all of the above, we can only say that the titled gymnast is in a hospital in a stable condition, but she needs an in-depth examination. Another indisputable fact is that Larisa Semyonovna is watched by all colleagues before the fans and it is revealed that a heart attack, stroke or just a regular scheduled visit to the clinic does not take a great athlete away from the country.
