Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing at age eight. She started training seriously at age 10 in Kurchatov, Russian Federation.

Why this sport? A fencing coach came to her school and recommended that she take up the sport. "I had a choice - to begin either fencing or rhythmic gymnastics. At that time I had no idea of what foil fencing was. I went there for company with a classmate, and thought to myself, 'I'll go to a couple of training sessions out of curiosity, and then I'll switch to gymnastics'. But it happened that I never got to gymnastics again."
