Denis

From the age of five to fifteen, I, Denis Kolomiets, coached you in figure skating. You stood out from the rest of the group with your abilities, and so, from the age of twelve, you began training solo, without a group. Training was every day, twice a day for several hours in the summer. You were very tired. But success in sports could be achieved through long training sessions and a strict coach. The Olympic Games were held every four years, and only the strongest athletes from all corners of the world were allowed to participate. The Games were scheduled for two weeks later, and you stubbornly performed your routines through pain, tears, and screams. You were always a calm teenager, you responded and corrected comments, but you tried so hard to achieve anything, trained until your legs were raw, ignored the pain when you fell, and so on. Even though Denis was strict, deep down he always worried about your falls and failures.
