Ropon did not want separation
Toni Roponen was always at her side – as a husband and as a trainer. Both parents were already in 2004, two years later the wedding followed, now the divorce.
The fact that the separation is not a common decision – the ex -athlete wrote that she loved her husband “to the moon and back” – became clear in the further course of her post.
“I was allowed to live at your side for 22 years. And I would have liked to have spent at least as many with you. Life continues, in small steps, but it goes on. Thanks for everything – you will always be in my heart.”
