Zaitsev's biography began on September 17, 1993. Alexey was born in the Krasnodar Territory in the small village of Starotitarovskaya. The boy was the youngest of four sons in the Zaitsev family. According to the stories of mother Larisa Alexandrovna, little Lesha from early childhood was distinguished by hyperactivity - he could not sit still for a minute.

The future bobsledder grew up a sickly child, easily picked up viruses and caught cold. The parents decided that only sports would help strengthen the immune system. So 5-year-old Lesha got into the acrobatics section, and a little later he went to comprehend the basics of Latin American dances.

Natural activity was even more vividly manifested in the school years. The playful boy demonstrated the wonders of handling a soccer ball. The sportsman noticed Alexei and began to insist that the boy play football. Soon Zaitsev was part of three teams. When the future bobsleigh star turned 13, he was attracted by athletics - Sergei Boyko became the first coach.

In a word, Lesha did everything at once. However, exhausting training quickly turned into a way of life, the young man could no longer imagine another day without them. It is interesting that the guy did not have any gaps in his studies. Zaitsev knew all subjects at "five", only mathematics and the Russian language were not given "excellent" - the knowledge reached only up to fours.

The high school graduate decided to connect his life with sports and applied to the Kuban University of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism. As a student, he became interested in bobsleigh, began training under the guidance of the honored coach of the USSR Yevgeny Martianov.

The bobsledder never ceased to delight his relatives and fans with the successes, next year he performed brilliantly at the Russian championship as part of the four. The piggy bank of achievements has been replenished with silver.

In January 2016, Russian bobsledders did not live up to the expectations of their fans. Alexey went to the World Championships in Austria together with Alexander Kasyanov, Ilvir Khuzin and Alexey Pushkarev. The guys managed to get only to the eighth place.

A year later, in March 2017, Russian bobsledders had a breakthrough in their careers. The crew piloted by Kasyanov won the World Cup. This is the first award for the team, which included Zaitsev, Pushkarev and Kondratenko. The same four came second in the combined standings.

During such periods, it was easier to do this, because the sports centers were only 40 minutes away by car.

The couple delighted fans through social networks with romance. Zaitsev, for example, suddenly began to write poems dedicated to his beloved. In 2017, the couple had a daughter, who was named Alice. The athlete in an interview shared his impressions of the first parenting experience:

Zaitsev called these competitions the most difficult in life - they were exhausted both morally and physically. In an official address, he apologized to the fans for not living up to expectations:
