Sport Specific Information
Why this sport?
Her parents enrolled her in the sport. "Mum is a swimming coach. Although she was not a swimmer in her original specialisation, she played basketball, but after finishing her studies she went to work in the pool and stayed there. Dad is a master of sport in athletics, his main thing is hurdles. My father took part in Russian championships and international starts. By the way, he is a sprinter - in this regard, I am like him. Genes? I think yes. As a child, I went to a camp with track and field athletes. But this was only an episode, otherwise I was engaged exclusively in swimming."
