Russian Aliya Mustafina, the 2012 and 2016 Olympic uneven bars champion, was confirmed to have retired from gymnastics at a ceremony on Tuesday.
Mustafina, 26, last competed in early 2019. She was named a Russian junior team coach last February, though a retirement wasn’t reported until an announcer at a ceremony at a domestic meet in Russia leading up to the Tokyo Games.
Mustafina is the last non-American woman to win an Olympic or world championships all-around, back in 2010 in her first year as a senior gymnast. A series of injuries followed, including surgeries on both knees and her left ankle.
