I began with track and field because this is what I know.

And, of course, method is very important as is a high-quality specialist (trainer) working with you to keep you going in the right direction for your improvement and to help create results.

Often you need to take some risk, but it must be a realistic risk, you can't take a crazy risk.

I decided to create a sports club during the Soviet times. It was my dream.

People come from around the world and can understand each other without even speaking the same languages!

Even now, I want to keep my amateur spirit, to spend my time, to be in the sport with all my heart.

My policy was just to give good things for sports in my region.
