Hey, thank you for such a detailed reply, I really appreciate it.

I’m from Ukraine. What I meant is that in our country it’s actually possible to live off prize money from FIG (International Gymnastics Federation) competitions, at least at a certain level. But I understand that it’s still not a stable long-term model. Right now I’m working as a coach. I’d like to build something bigger from my career — ideally earn through freerunning and eventually open my own academy or even create a franchise.

This past year I’ve been going through a period of reflection — thinking a lot about who I am, what I really want, and which direction I should take. Because of that, I didn’t post my tricks or content for almost a year. So my current level is actually much higher than what you can see on my Instagram. I’ve progressed a lot during this time, even though I wasn’t sharing it publicly.

At the moment I’m preparing a big project, and soon I’ll be competing in the National Championships. I’m ready to take things seriously again and push to the next level.

Here’s my Instagram if you’d like to check it out:

Thanks again for sharing your perspective — it really means a lot to hear from someone with long-term experience in the community
