Two-time Olympic fencing champion Sofia Pozdnyakova is separating from her husband Konstantin Lokhanov.
The information about this was confirmed to Match TV by the woman’s father, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee Stanislav Pozdnyakov.
“Love for the motherland and upbringing did not allow my daughter to share the fate of the yellow scooters,” the father said, adding that friends and family would provide moral support to the “child”.
Sofya Pozdnyakova’s husband is Konstantin Lokhanov, a four-time world junior champion, a Russian sabre-thrower. The athlete moved to the United States of America and is not going to return to Russia in the near future.
