As a first-year student at the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sasha usually pays great attention to various sports events. "I used to practice rhythmic gymnastics and was awarded the title of Russian candidate for "Sports Master". Now I do sports more for myself. I usually run and dream of running a half marathon. I like winter sports and I like figure skating, but I don't skate very well, it can be said to be unprofessional. I also love biathlon and ice hockey. ”

Speaking about the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, Sasha said: "I will cheer for Anna Serbakova. I'll also cheer on the ice hockey team. I am very pleased with the exchanges and cooperation between Russia and China, and we have established a real friendly relationship between us. I think cultural exchange is great because when countries interact with each other, we have the opportunity to learn something new from each other. When Chinese students come to Russia and Russian students go to China, they can know a lot about each other. ”

"I hope that our athletes will continue to show the highest level in the Olympic arena, and I hope that this colorful Winter Olympics can bring us more warmth and goodwill." When people are left at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and work, life and even travel are affected, I very much hope that this Winter Olympics will unite the people and bring them the strength to solve problems.
