I'm an afternoon tea type of girl. I come from a Russian background where we love our teas. So between lunch and dinner after training I come home and I love a nice cup of tea with jam in it, as we drink it there. Black English Breakfast with raspberry jam is my favorite.

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.

I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they're versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.

I never really had an idol.

My parents had a normal life in Russia and they could have easily kept living a normal life, working and raising a child in Russia.

I think when you know what you are going to wear, it fits and it's great material, then you feel confident in it.
