He was an introverted, shy boy who was introduced to sports in order to tear him away from the computer. In 1998 he began to do athletics and in 2001, he tried bobsleigh because his uncle Anatoliy Chelyshev was a coach in the sport (now his personal coach). Won the 2004 Russian Cup in the four-man. But because he was tall, thin, and fast, he was better suited for skeleton and switched sports. (redyarsk.ru, 6 Dec 2006; krsk.kp.ru, 15 Feb 2014)
He usually rides the same skeleton for four years but parts start to wear, which can change technique. In 2020, he switched to a skeleton of a new manufacturer, also German, but the company is different. It took longer for him to get used to, but he coped. "The Russian national team last year invited a new specialist to the team - Dirk Machenets. He offered his technique, and it was just time for us to change the skeletons, so we decided to switch to the technique that he recommends. Actually, the results at the European Championships and the World Championships confirm that we did everything right." (olympics.com, 1 Apr 2021)
