Mirra Andreeva Doubles🥈 (With Diana Shnaider) “Great to have a medal at the Olympics. I think we’ll play maybe 4 or 5 more Olympics, so I think we can try to achieve & win more medals in the future. Its great that it’s the first Olympics & we have a medal right away.” 🎥: IOC

Mirra Andreeva may not have had the best of singles runs at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games after winning the Iasi Open. But after winning her first WTA title, it was more history to add to her resume.
She became a silver medalist at the Olympic Games alongside fellow rising Russian, Diana Shnaider and revealed a startling revelation in the aftermath of such a win. She admitted that she plans to play another five Olympic Games which would take her up to twenty years.
This would make her at least 37 before she heads towards retirement. This seemed to startle Shnaider who perhaps hasn't thought that far ahead into the future.
But it is startling that they could play that long and is perhaps a big omen for the future that aside from them being barred from the Olympic Games that both could yet find themselves involved for years to come. There was also the sense of disappointment from Andreeva at least that they didn't claim gold but likely a fact that changes in the cold light of day.
“I think we will try our best, both of us, I think we’ll play four or five more Olympics,” Andreeva said, prompting a small, surprised laugh coming from her partner, “Well that’s my plans anyway!
“I think we’re going to try to achieve and win more medals, but of course it’s great that the first Olympics and we have one right away. That’s something special.
“Of course, its maybe not the way we wanted to finish the day and finish this tournament, but it is what it is, and we can for sure be very proud of ourselves,” she reflected.
“I think the ‘great’ will come at the right time and maybe now it’s not really the right time for us. We’ll see – maybe the next Olympics is the time when we’re going to achieve everything so we’ll see what the future will tell.”
