“Running shoes are comfortable and good for everyday life. But every athlete wants to be beautiful: sometimes I wear dresses. All depends on my mood”.

“I can’t imagine my life without sports, hockey is life for me”, noted Vafina.
Comparing men’s and women’s hockey, Alexandra finds at least one advantage of the girls: “Maybe our game is not as dynamic as men’s one and we do not fight on ice, but we have the same goals. Men are stronger and faster than girls, therefore their games are more spectacular. We don’t play at such high speeds, but we are beautiful”.
