General Interest

BRIEF RETIREMENT
Could not motivate herself to continue speed skating and retired from sports at age 17 for two years and worked as a coach. Was brought back to inline skating by a friend, won some races and was introduced to current coach, Sergey Minin (BLR), who pulled her back on the ice at age 21. (kp.by, 2018; isu.org, 7 Mar 2019)

EARLY START
At an early age, she participated in the Viking Race, an international youth tournament in Heerrenveen, Netherlands. "I was eleven years old and I was very nervous to skate in front of such a huge crowd of people. I had a false start in the 500m, but me and my opponent did not hear a second shot, so we looked at each other and continued skating. When we completed the lap the starter stopped us yet, and we had to start all over again."(isu.org, 7 Mar 2019)

Milestones

Finished ninth in the 5000m at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

Won first international medal for Belarus since 2005 (Anzhelika Kotyuga) with bronze in the team pursuit at 2018 European Championships.
