OVERCOMING FEAR
She enjoys equestrian the most of the five disciplines in modern pentathlon. "I've been doing pentathlon for about 10 years, and for five or seven years I was very afraid of a horse. It was something supernatural, I did not understand what to do with it. And in the last three years I fell in love. It happens to be scary, you fall, but it does not matter. When you fall, fear passes away. Sometimes it hurts a lot, up to tears, but then everything passes quickly, you forget and sit back." (ctv.by, 26 Jan 2020)
