Athing Mu got married to Russian athlete Yegor Nikolayev last March before commencing her 2025 season with long distance races.
2020 Tokyo Olympic champion Athing Mu-Nikolayev has explained how getting married as well as participating in some unorthodox long distance races following her 2024 challenges have reignited her love for track and field.
Mu’s struggles began with a hamstring injury that disrupted her 2024 season, eventually limiting her appearances on the track.
She re-emerged at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June 2024, but her campaign ended in heartbreak after a fall during the 800m final led to a last-place, which dashed her hopes of defending her title.

Man United Legend Shares Concerns Over Potential Marcus Rashford Move to Barcelona
A former Manchester United striker has given reasons why he thinks Marcus Rashford should not be allowed to sign for Barcelona.
Recurrent injuries meant she sat out the rest of 2024. However, in 2025, Mu got married to Russian husband Yegor Nikolayev in March before commencing training, and took part in a couple of long distance races to build her endurance and put her in mint condition for the World Athletics Championships trials.
Speaking to CITIUS Mag’s Katelyn Hutchinson, Mu-Nikolayev has explained how her 2025 milestones have reignited her passion for the track.
‘I’ve Still Got The Honeymoon Feeling’
)
“I think I’ve still got that—what do they call it? The honeymoon feeling?” she said. “We went to Hawaii for about five days, but it was right before camp, so it wasn’t really a full honeymoon. We’re planning a real one after the season, hopefully in October.”
While marriage brought joy and stability, her athletic life presented new challenges. Following the Olympic Trials, Mu-Nikolayev was hit with an unexpected wave of setbacks—minor injuries and the emotional weight of unmet expectations.
“Honestly, it’s been super challenging,” she admitted. “Coming off the Trials, I thought things would settle into place. But after some summer training, I ended up dealing with injuries.

Liverpool Ready to Pounce as Alexander Isak Grows Furious Over Newcastle Offer
Newcastle United are finding themselves in a corner as star striker Alexander Isak is reportedly unhappy over their contract offer amid a big-money offer from Liverpool.
“ We ended up canceling the season to focus on next year. That, on top of everything else, made things really hard.”
For someone so young and accomplished, the pressure to perform can sometimes outweigh the love that first drew her to the sport.
“I had to find my love for track again. It sounds cliché, but it’s true. And sometimes, it’s not even about love—it’s about how much it demands of you. Emotionally, physically, it takes everything.”
With the support of her husband and a fresh approach to training, Mu-Nikolayev found her way back—not just to fitness, but to joy.
“It took time. I had to get back to enjoying the hard workouts, the tough seasons. It wasn’t until the past month that I felt like, ‘Yeah, I’m ready to run and compete again.’”
We’ve Got To Run Distance
)
That rediscovery has come, in part, through returning to her roots: distance running.
“I’m a mid-distance girl—we’ve got to run distance,” she says. “People know me for my 400s, but in high school, I ran a ton of 1500s, did lots of mileage. That only changed in college. Now we’re bringing it back—building strength and racing more.”
