Since childhood, Semyon was active and mobile, he could not sit in one place for a long time. His parents enrolled him in the sports section. The boy had to combine classes in regular and sports schools. From the first grade he was engaged in taekwondo, but after six months he caught fire in short track. Two sports at the same time - such a load was beyond the strength of even the purposeful Semyon Elistratov. He faced a choice and chose a short track.

The promising student was first noticed by Andrei Maksimov, who trains him to this day. He helped to reveal Elistratov's sports talent, put his knowledge and soul into it. Maksimov was always there, even when 12-year-old Semyon did not train for several months due to a broken leg and thought about quitting sports. At the competitions, Andrei Maksimov does not hide his emotions and shouts louder than the fans.

Semyon Elistratov had to get up at 5 in the morning and run to training, then to school, then back to training. With such a busy schedule, he managed to finish school well, go to the Institute of Physical Education, then to the magistracy and become a professional coach.

It is a tradition in sports schools that young people receive their first skates as a gift from the older generation. Semyon Elistratov was presented with them by Yulia Chachina, bronze medalist of the European Championship. The athlete received a gift from the strongest runner of the republic and saw this as a good sign. Now skates are made for him by special order, so that they sit on his leg as if he was born in them.

Like most professional athletes, Semyon's competitive biography began at school age. At the age of 13, Semyon Elistratov became the master of sports of Russia, and three years later he was already a member of the Russian national team. At the age of 17, he won the junior winter sports day and received the title of international master of sports. It took the athlete six years to go through the difficult path from a beginner to a member of the Russian national team, champion of Russia, twice European champion, and medalist of the World Championship. But his main victory was ahead.

The 2014 Olympics in Sochi became the second in Elistratov's sports career. In Vancouver in 2010, he took only 24th place. Then there were intense training. In the spring and autumn of 2012, he trained with the Dutch national team, alongside the world leaders in short track speed skating - it was a great school. In Sochi, the Dutch showed the aerobatics of classic speed skating. And Semyon Elistratov won the Olympic "gold" in the relay.

He says that in his sporting life there were two significant victories - the medal of the Russian men's championship, won at the age of 15, and the Olympic medal.

Relatives and the coach say that Semyon Elistratov is very upset by failure. In his youth, he took 4th place in the competition and could not go to the awards, because he was ashamed in front of the fans for such a result.

The athlete is currently going through a difficult situation. Semyon Elistratov did not go to the World Championships in Seoul because of a positive doping test - meldonium was found in his body. Since January 1, 2016, the World Anti-Doping Agency has included this drug on the list of prohibited. In the center of the scandal with meldonium was not only Semyon, but also other Russian champions - Maria Sharapova, Ekaterina Bobrova, Pavel Kulizhnikov, Alexander Markin and others.

The doping scandal has become international, a number of sports experts argue that the checks were biased, the sudden inclusion of new banned substances on the list of checks put athletes in an unequal position. Also, the sports community began to publish doping scandals involving American and European athletes, against whom harsh measures were not applied. The sports scandal spilled over into a political one, and then completely disappeared. The sanctions against Russian athletes have been eased.

Already on April 21, 2016, ISU withdrew the suspension from Semyon Elistratov. Immediately after the restrictions were lifted, the athlete, as Elistratov himself admitted, did not have a single free minute.
