This was a difficult race. My coach is Victor Chogin. I go to the training camp in Saransk in central Russia. I am not very happy with my time but it was enough to win the gold medal. I will study biology at University next year. Music and walking are my hobbies. This is my first international meeting outside Russia apart from Ukraine. I know the 2 Olympic champions Olga Kaniskina and Valeriy Borchin.
