Boxer Apetz ends her career
1:33 a.m.:
After her end in the last sixteen of the Olympic boxing competition,
Nadine Apetz has announced the end of
her career.
She traveled to Tokyo with great motivation, where she was the first German female boxer to ever take part in the Olympic Games.
“Maintaining this fire now that it's over is hard.
You either do boxing with all your heart or not at all, ”she said in an Instagram interview with Deutsche Sporthilfe.
That's why "the decision to leave the big boxing stage was exactly the right one," she said.
“I want to finish my doctoral thesis as soon as possible and arrive at one point,” said the 35-year-old: “It's a wonderful life as a competitive athlete, but also a very exhausting one.
You travel a lot, a lot.
That pulls you. "
