Over the course of my career I have gotten used to being called even worse. There are people who don’t like me and people who support me. It has always been that way. I have decided for now not to get vaccinated. As an elite athlete, I control all of that. that enters my body and something changes 0.5% of my body, I feel it right away. I’m just cautious before making any decisions and ready to face the consequences. In the future? I have an open mind and I do not exclude anything, in life everything is possible.
