The first coach of Veronika Stepanova: She immediately stood out

Russia (bbabo.net), - Veronica was born in the city of Yelizovo. Parents, like many in Kamchatka, are fond of sports - my mother was a skier. And after another sports broadcast, they decided to send little Veronica to a sports school. As the first coach Peter Yakovlev said, she immediately stood out. Therefore, I competed with girls older than myself and trained in a group with boys.

The athlete is active in social networks, where she talks about training, preparation for the Olympics, shares her thoughts on various occasions. She has developed an image of a person who is never nervous. According to Veronica, the night before the race she sleeps either well or very well. What made her worry was the coronavirus tests.

“I passed a negative PCR test, the first “credit” for admission to the Olympics. In the meantime, I was waiting for the result, I could not stand did an antigen test for myself. Such things,” Veronika Stepanova shared with subscribers of her Instagram page.

The hometown of the skier Yelizovo is quite small. But with enviable regularity it gives the country strong athletes in winter sports. Countryman Veronika Stepanova is the legend of Russian skiing Alexander Khoroshilov, for whom this 2022 Olympics is the fifth. Alexander is the only Russian skier who won the World Cup.
