Spending time with family, travelling, watching TV shows and YouTube, reading books, food lover, chess.
"My dad taught me how to play chess when I was six. The biggest thing that I like about chess is that you need to think ahead of your rival. I think it is a really big thing in your life because every day you need to think ahead to see forward and to know what you expect after your actions."

Started snowboarding at age 10, when her family moved to Ufa, where she attended a sports school. "Came to my first training session in April, at the end of the season. I did not know how to use the drag lift, I had to climb a rather steep 300-metre mountain on foot. Climbing along the track, afraid to fall or drop the snowboard. In general, I will remember my first descent for the rest of my life." (Athlete, Apr 2021; sobaka.ru, 17 Apr 2019)
"I had to choose between snowboard cross and alpine snowboarding, and when I was a kid I had better results in parallel snowboarding. So me and my coach, we decided to pick the latter." (Athlete, Apr 2021)
Win a gold medal at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, and become world champion. (Athlete, Apr 2021)
"Competitions include six attempts. There are thirty flags on the track. This means that you need to powerfully push off one hundred and eighty times with the maximum squat. Getting through this without injury takes good preparation. I work a lot in the gym for strength and endurance." (sobaka.ru, 17 Apr 2019)
