Additional information
BULIMIA
In February 2020 she revealed that she had been suffering from bulimia for more than two years. "For me, life was divided into fighting the disease and a wonderful sport. For the last two years, I haven't really talked to anyone at the [training] base in Novogorsk. I've eaten alone, I went everywhere alone. At first I didn't even know that there was such a disease. I didn't know what was happening to me, although I knew something wasn't right. [My] health deteriorated, and no-one could understand what was wrong with me. I want to appeal to those who also have bulimia. The most difficult thing here is to just admit it." (tass.ru, 09 Feb 2020)
