MOOD MAKER
She claims to have a special role in the Russian national team. "I am a comedian. I think that I am a person who can change the atmosphere in the team. Sometimes girls in the team feel sad or too tired and I can change it. I can be very funny. And this is my main role in our team, I think. But it doesn't mean that I can't be serious. Of course, during training I'm more focused, but I think that we should be able to have fun even at work." (olympicchannel.com, 18 Jun 2020)
