BLOCKING PREFERENCE
She says she prefers blocking to spiking. "I love this element [blocking] very much. It can be of great benefit to the team. It's much easier to earn a point on the block than to save a ball in defence, pass and finish it off. The second option [spiking] takes much more effort. Plus blocking is mental work. You need to think and turn on your brain." (sport-express.ru, 09 Oct 2018)

SPAIN
She was born in Valladolid, Spain, while her father Andrey was playing there for the basketball team CB Valladolid. (vcmo.ru, 23 Apr 2012)
