Pride. That is all I felt in a moment when my national anthem was playing. Even through I'm used to winning, I could barely control the tears.
„Ladies anf Gentelman, give a big applause to our beautiful girls, especially to a winer Nikita Utkin.“
After the divisons of medals, olympic procedure was giving short interwew and then giving samples for drug test.
„Miss Utkin can you tell us how do you feel in this moment?“
„I'm very proud and happy that I succed defend all my gold medals from last olympic games in Athen here in Bejing. I would like to thank all my friends and famliy, also to coaches and all fans here and in my homeland.“
That was only meaningful thing I could say in that moment because I was under a lot of pressure of cameras and reporters that wanted to speak to me. I know it's pathetic but I didn't like the press and the spotlight. I was just a normal girl who loved practise gymnastic. I was shocced when I won all gold medals in my first Olympic games in Athen 2004. I was just sixteen then and only thing that hurt me that time were all bad comments which I got because some people couldn't belive I won without using drugs.
„I tought that I will feel more calm infront the media this time, you know?“ I phoned to my friend Sascha.
„You were great darling don't worry, when you come back I have some excinting news to share.“ Sascha answered.
„Really, why can you tell me right now?“
„Because you would pass out and I would never see you again.“
„You are such a drama queen you know?“
„I love you to, Niki.“
„I hate you, Sasy“
„See you soon, mi amor, Bye.“
„Bye psycho.“
I supposed to land in 2pm but somehow our plane was one hour late, and all people that waited for Russian athlets were a bit tired, but still they screamed our names and waved with flags. I stayed and signed some autographs and took some photos with a fans and then I went home with my family.
„You are all insane why did you throw me a party?“ I asked when I saw so many people at our house.
„Well, we need to celebrate your sport success and also your success in college.“ My dad said.
„I will strart my third year in college in three monts, but we already celebrated that I finished second year.“
„Well, you won't start your third year in three month, it would be more like in moth in Germany.“ Sascha said.
„WAIT, WHAT???“
„ Yeah, I apllied us on a exchange program, and we got in, and don't worry you will be able to practice in Munich.“
„You are all insane, Sasy how are we going to finnish medicine in Germany?“
„We will listen classes on English and answer it also on English.“
„Still, you are all insane.“
A month fly by so fast and Sascha and I came in Munich. We find our apartment and settle all things down. I also did first practise and meet my new coach. All this was so excintig that I was so happy that crazy Sasy bring me here.
