My family is my rear, where I can come after victories and defeats. I’ve always been here will understand and support. At home, I can calmly relax, relax, find peace and understanding. Is it hard to be the wife of an athlete? And you ask Irina! – I can not say that being the wife of an athlete is very difficult, – says Irina – I quickly got used to the fact that Alex – known basketball player and always in the spotlight. But I strongly miss Alex, when he is on the long training camp. I am pleased to go to all home games, because I know how important it is to Alyosha: it’s nice to know I’m in the hall and behind him sick.

About the image of athletes are always in sight, and of course, the image plays a big role. When you feel the attention from people, you know, it’s very responsible. And of course, clothes and manners should be meet the high bar that you take, and in any case does not fall below. It is necessary to justify the attention that you have. If we talk about clothes at all, then every day I try to wear comfortable clothes – jeans, T-shirts. But out of their cars prefer a jeep, because with my height of 2 meters 15 centimeters in another car just does not zalezesh! On the pleasures of my sporting life, the constant traveling and fees make it impossible to engage in some hobby.

I like very much to go home in the Krasnodar – there I have family and many friends. A huge pleasure for fishing. This is where I rest from everything! There is a complete relaxation, there are forces for new developments. Love holidays, especially New Year. This is the holiday that I meet always in the family. I also like to give gifts – the joy of seeing loved ones and relatives, their happy eyes. For me this is important! I love to travel to Greece: sister lives there and growing favorite nephew. As for the music, it’s also fun. Favorite singer – Aleksandr Rozenbaum. Still happy in the car listening to our Russian pop music. O values in my life very much appreciate your friends – I have their way, small. And I’m thankful for the fact that they are close: they do not throw in a difficult moment, do not betray and always provide a shoulder. I appreciate loyalty in people. I think, a very poor quality – envy. Often, with this face, and not only in sports. It is important to stay above all a decent person, that would be in my life no matter what happens. Many of the conceited and lose your face – try not to be tolerated.
