Believing in myself and not to be afraid of taking any risks. I have to be better than the average person to succeed. That’s why I chose bodybuilding. If I became a world champion, if I could win admiration from my peers, I could do anything.

Close to birth... I lost, like, 80 percent of my hearing, and I had difficulty speaking.
