Alexander Zheleznov: Rest is the best thing before a competition

Alexander Zheleznov, 17, started practicing short track skating at the age of 8 following the advice of a short track coach. He has been representing the IISF since 2002 and has taken part in major international competitions – Senior and Junior World Championships, and Senior European Championships. Patience and love for the sport help him with daily training, while a good rest is the best thing to steady him before a competition.  His hobby is studying.
