Started speed skating at age 12 in Kolomna. (isu.org)
An avid gamer as a teenager, his father tried to get him to participate in sports and took him to the then recently opened speed skating rink in Kolomna. Although he also tried out for ice hockey, he eventually favoured speed skating.
Initially, his father need to stimulate him financially. "He was lying on the couch, and I'm told, 'We have to go, Pasha,' and he replied, 'I don't want to.' Then I added a little incentive. 'If you go and sign up, I'll give you a thousand rubles.' Then he became interested." (24smi.org, 2018; isu.org, 2021; stuki-druki.com, 2020)
