The first baby was born in the family of two-time Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics and Krasnodar bobsledder Alexei Zaitsev.
Happy dad informed about the joyful event. And not immediately from the hospital, but a few days after, when the heat of passions passed. I posted a photo from the walk on Instagram – he, Aliya and the stroller: “Tired, but incredibly happy …” Who is in the stroller was told not by young parents, but by the coach of a young mother. It’s a girl! Alia herself probably has no time to share the details. And maybe she doesn’t want to, because she hasn’t posted a single thematic photo during her entire pregnancy.
Let’s remind the love story of this beautiful successful couple. The athletes met in 2015 … in a Moscow hospital! Aliya had a knee injury, Aleksey had a thigh injury. The young people liked each other, and when Lesha was discharged, he continued to visit the girl in the hospital. And so the romance began. Both train in Moscow, and the bases are not far from each other, so the lovers did not part for a long time. And once, when Lesha needed to stay in Krasnodar, 22-year-old Aliya herself, driving an SUV, arrived at her beloved one in 11 hours. Back, however, flew by plane – Lesha’s family convinced, because it is exciting to let one girl go over such distances.
By the way, they got married in Krasnodar in November last year. The wedding was quiet, there were only the closest ones. In December, it became known that Aliya was pregnant. The girl posted a photo from a vacation in the Maldives, and in those pictures where she was in a swimsuit, fans looked at the tummy. Usually, in such cases, speculation remains speculation, but here the couple’s subscribers were not mistaken. For months before giving birth, Aliya moved to her parents in Ufa. Well, we know the happy continuation of this story! The two-time champion is not going to leave her sports career, she will continue training as the time comes. Well, as for Alexei, he plans to take medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea.
