British WAG and MAG talk 2025

I wouldn't mind seeing some new faces at Euros. The "A" team seem to have been constantly on the go for the last few years. Alice and GMF were both on every team in the 2022-24 cycle. I don't think there's been a team without at least one of them since Rio 2016.

With Chusovitina it’s financial. Whilst she’s still able to do the skills that can make her money on the World Cup circuit, then it makes sense for her to continue even if Olympic qualification isn’t realistic. If she had another way of making decent money, I don’t think she’d still be competing.

She can't make decent money coaching?

Speaking as a coach, nope
Honestly have no idea what coaching gets paid over there.

Or open / own a gym? I don't know her educational background or skills outside of being an athlete, but continuing to compete doesn't seem sustainable. She's been doing an amazing job, but for how long? What would be her Plan B?

 

[hmmmm]

I think it has been implied before that as a coach she was difficult to work for/with.

Sounds like Michael Jordan. Amazing athlete does not always translate into great coach.

She doesn’t speak English and only broken German. That’s the biggest issue
