"Not saying for sure, but maybe," Zaripova admitted in an interview for IA Tatar-Inform.

According to Zaripova`s words when you already have all the titles, it is hard to be on the point of setting yourself for the start. "As long as there is time - I want to try something new," the athlete said and added that she is going to go to the marathon.

"I think that I will not take part in the steeplechase at the next Olympic Games. We must look for new incentives, a new impetus,” she said.
