Gymnast Margarita Mamun shows her first-grader son

Mamun posted footage from her son's school opening ceremony

Olympic rhythmic gymnastics champion Margarita Mamun shared on Instagram (the platform's owner, Meta, has been designated extremist and banned in Russia) footage from her son's school opening ceremony. Seven-year-old Lev is a first-grader. “I want to always love. And to post more often,” the athlete wrote, according to the outlet Gazeta.Ru.

About the athlete's family

Mamun had her son with the decorated Russian swimmer Alexander Sukhorukov. In December 2016, he proposed to the gymnast at an Olympic ball, and on September 8, 2017, the couple got married. According to the athlete, the spouses managed to build a strong family, which both of them had dreamed of. The couple has one child together so far.

Recovery after childbirth

The Olympic champion admitted that she was in no hurry to lose weight after giving birth and gradually got back into shape through swimming, light warm-ups and stretching. In interviews, she said that during her athletic career it was hard for her to control her weight, but over the years she learned to listen to her body, and this helped her recover faster. Mamun also noted that in the first months of life with a baby, mothers especially need help and support, so that they have the opportunity to relax and take care of themselves, and she was lucky in this respect.

Context

Earlier, the outlet noted, ballet dancer Polunin appeared in a photo with his only daughter. Posts about the children of famous athletes and performers remain a prominent topic in celebrity news: they give fans a rare glimpse into the personal lives of public figures, while the celebrities themselves decide what to share. In this case, sources provide no new official details beyond the footage from the school ceremony and Mamun's own words.
