BET
In 2013, she wore lacy pink lingerie over her jumpsuit in a youth competition honouring a bet with her teammates. "I don’t feel shame for wearing lingerie in 2013. Will I agree if I'm asked to do it again? Yes, I can do it if I don’t face any disciplinary sanctions afterwards. I don’t see anything bad in that act." (rt.com, 25 Dec 2019)

TATTOOS
Has three tattoos, receiving her first at age 16. The first was of the Olympic rings that "you can see them when I'm in a swimsuit". Later she added cherries and an infinity sign, with her motto. "Pain is temporary, triumph is eternal". (sports.ru, 1 Oct 2017)
