''Hello everyone, I was wondering how to release this information and share my feelings. There are things that are hard to talk about and explain, but they should be talked about. Unfortunately, my health condition does not allow me to prepare for the next season. I was diagnosed with an oncological disease a few days ago and will soon begin treatment. The coming months will not be easy for me but I firmly believe that everything will turn out well and soon I will fly again on the ice with joy and passion! I will be back stronger! Please respect my privacy.
