Ekaterina Vedeneeva about leaving Slovenia
I live in Russia, I work in Russia and, accordingly, I want to be judge from country where I work, to be with country to which I now bring results.
It was consensual. There were no barriers, everyone understands situation. Slovenia did not offer any contracts for work and so on. After Olympics in Paris, we separated from each other professionally. If I became judge from Slovenia - they would not even be able to pay me for this work, trips to competitions and so on. At the same time, everyone knew very well that I was going to continue my life in gymnastics and I was going to get international judging category.
Exam will be in fall.
I still have my Slovenian passport.
