After the long break, she plans to return with fresh energy. "I hope, that in a year I come back in a better shape and achieve even better results. I still have time before the next Olympic season", Irina Avvakumova told FIS Ski Jumping and added: "I'd like to thank all my fans for support. It's very important for me."
