Other information PREFERRED ROLE
She likes to fence the final bout when representing Ukraine in team competitions. "In general, I have always liked the leader's position on the team. I want to finish the bouts. Sometimes, when you see that another person is not succeeding in something, you really want to go onto the piste yourself and take responsibility. When you finish team bouts, you have a huge responsibility and if you cannot meet expectations and bring a victory to the team, of course, you reproach yourself first of all. But when you win, it is doubly pleasant." (sport-express.ua, 05 Feb 2019)
