Ever since then I have known that if all the values in this world are more or less questionable, the most important thing in life is kindness.

Everything I do, I do on the principle of Russian borscht. You can throw everything into it beets, carrots, cabbage, onions, everything you want. What's important is the result, the taste of the borscht.

True sport is always a duel, a duel with nature, with one's own fear, with one's own fatigue, a duel in which the body and the mind are strengthened.

I love sport because I love life, and sport is one of the basic joys of life.
