I began to pull at the competition since 2005. It was possible to take part at almost all Russian tournaments of central region, at the European and world championships and professional tournaments - Nemiroff World Cup, A1 Russian Open, Top-8 in Bulgaria. Somewhere I pulled well, somewhere – not very. But I always managed to combine sport with studies, then - with the work.
