Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport?

She began the sport at age eight in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Why this sport?

"My mother brought me to swimming after I had been diagnosed with scoliosis at age nine. After a short course of swimming exercises, once I saw a synchronized swimming training and, as my mother told me, without losing sight of this beauty and grace, I said firmly, "Mum, I want this!" Certainly, I didn't know the name of the sport then but I realized that I liked it madly!"
