Andrey Abdullin LIFE

My second attempt to get back to training after surgery is going well so far

Finally started shooting a film for university exam.

Recently, I felt nostalgic for the days when I was a professional gymnast and found a video of my performance on the horizontal bar at regional competitions in 2020. Sometimes I can't believe I was able to do that.

It feels really incredible to realize that the life can be changed so much in just one year. And even despite the difficult conditions that I once again put myself into because of my ambitions, I can say this: I am not going to give up. I truly believe and hope that 2026 will be even more successful!

Happy birthday to me! Today I turned 22! Looks like I’m getting old already 🥺 Usually, on my birthday I write some kind of philosophical text with my reflections about the past. But this time nothing really comes to my mind. Seems like all my thoughts are busy with studying… 😂 Nevertheless, since I didn’t write a post about the results of 2025, I would like to focus on that now. Surprisingly, last year was very productive and mostly successful for me. Sometimes I am surprised myself by how high I managed to jump. During the year, I passed the German exam at C1 level, finished Studienkolleg, moved to Düsseldorf, and then to Freiburg, because I somehow got into the university in this wonderful city completely by chance. And as usual, I also managed to travel quite a lot. I am incredibly proud of myself for all of this.

Something from the 2024 archive 🤸‍♂️🇮🇹

A new trend is going around on social media where people show their life in 2016. And I couldn’t ignore it. For me, 2016 was a very special year and stayed in my memory as the brightest time of my life in Russia. Back then, everything was different. I only had sport in my mind and nothing else. I really miss those times. So many warm memories and important moments are connected with that year.
