Ekaterina Ilyina in a Match TV project Faces of the country said that she finishes playing career next summer.
The Olympic champion and the centre back of HC CSKA will leave handball after the season-2024/25.
— I have to think in a different direction, in terms of family, children. I don’t know, of course, those are strong words. Probably, I already want to live for myself, create a family, give birth to children. Anyway, I won’t leave handball since it’s a certain part of my life. And in any case I will support the girls and will be close to this sport. I just can’t walk away, forget it and leave it behind. No! Relatively speaking, I will participate in different activities.
I will be very happy if I am invited to children’s sports schools, where I can pass on my experience, some skills and share something, — Ilyina said.
