- She and her husband (Former football player of FC "Sumy" Andrei Patsyuk. -Avt..) guestrooms have friends in Toronto. It is clear that the sister and there was observed from doctors, after all, the period of pregnancy was already big. Here are Canadian doctors and advised Vita, which is better not to risk health to your and baby during a long flight (on average 11 hours, and this is excluding transplants. — Auto). Listening to the recommendation of doctors, sister with her husband decided to stay and give birth in place.

- It turns out that they will now stay in Toronto for a long time, because to travel with a baby in their hands - the business is troublesome and tedious.

- Vita with Andrei is not going to linger in Canada for a long time, they really missed the house. So they plan to return to Ukraine this year. As soon as the baby is growing slightly, it will go to order tickets. We also miss them very much, and I want to see the baby to see.

- The back led. Strengthening severe pain, even to give to their feet. Could not train normally, and it was necessary to seriously take care of treatment. Vladimir Brynzak recommended a good specialist in Poltava, under his supervision and correlated health. Recently returned from Odessa, drove to recover. And you know, so far, thank God, I feel good.

- And when you can fully work, doctors still do not speak?

- Before the new year, there is definitely not. In general, in this matter it all depends on how successfully treatment will be. But I hope that since the winter will begin to train, and in the spring, if everything is fine, I will take part in official competitions.

- Your sister will begin training at best next year. What do you think, will be able to twit after a three-year pause in a career to return to your usual level?

- I am sure that he can. I will return to the system, and Vita follows me. We are twins, one whole, and make a common thing together. If seven seven is waiting in the national team, we are not entitled to bring either the leadership of the federations or our fans.

I hope in two years on Olympic Gamesoh, we show with twisted that the pause in the career went to us only benefit.
