Additional information
COACH
Soon after retiring from the sport due to injuries, he began working as a coach. "I began to think what to do next. I often helped coaches before, and then I enrolled a group of children and began to share my experience with them. So after the end of my career I already had my students who competed at the city championships and took prizes. I am satisfied and don't regret my choice." (omskregion.info, 13 Jun 2018)
