Start sporting career
He took up the sport at age four in Kherson, Ukraine.
Reason for taking up the sport
"My parents are Masters of Sport in artistic gymnastics. In my childhood, my father would take me to a gym and teach me the basic elements. At training sessions I liked trampolining a lot and waited for the time when they would let me join in. Then, a trampoline coach came in the gym and offered to train me. I liked it. Everything was easy for me and I had my first successes, so I continued going."
