Sofia Prosvirnova

In 2017, short tracker Sofya Prosvirnova turned 20, but the young athlete's track record inspires respect. At 16, the girl became a three-time winner of the Winter Olympic Festival among juniors, at 17 she participated in the Sochi Olympics, and at 18 she was awarded the title of Honored Master of Sports of Russia.

Sofia was born in 1997 in the city on the Neva. There were no athletes in the Prosvirnov family. The decision to enroll little Sonya in the sports section to parents dictated the desire to direct the excess energy of a nimble child in a useful direction. The St. Petersburg figure skating school was considered the best in the country, so the choice of a section for a 5-year-old daughter was obvious.

Sophia quickly learned to stand on the ice, after six months of classes she easily glided on skates, but the girl was not able to jump. When her peers easily performed complex triple cascades, the young figure skater had tears in her eyes: Sonya could hardly finish double jumps.

When Sofia Prosvirnova turned 11, the coaches, without ceremony, announced that the young figure skater had no prospects. On the advice of the teachers, Sonya moved to the skating section, but the classic skates quickly got bored. The athlete went into synchronized skating, but after a year she realized that this was not her way either.

The short track in the sports biography of Sofia Prosvirnova arose by accident and at first did not cause admiration either. Sonia dreamed of resting in a summer camp, but her mother secretly enrolled her in a sports one with skaters. The young athlete made friends with her peers and responded when she was called to the training camp in Penza. Coach Nikolai Tretyakov saw Sofya Prosvirnova at the competition and with a trained eye determined that in front of him was a future star.

It took three and a half months to negotiate. After giving consent, the girl rapidly moved to Olympus. If in the summer of 2013 no one knew about the 15-year-old short tracker from St. Petersburg, then in the fall everyone started talking: Prosvirnova successfully performed at the TFR Cup, having passed the selection stage for the country's national team to participate in the World Cup in Shanghai.

It took the athlete a year and a half to be in the youth team. In Shanghai, Sophia showed a brilliant, as for a beginner, result: she took 4th place at a distance of 500 meters. A year later, Prosvirnova became a three-time winner at the European Winter Olympic Festival among juniors and won bronze at the World Championships in the junior relay.

In 2014, an athlete from St. Petersburg as part of the national team went to Sochi and participated in the XXII Winter Olympic Games. In the same year, Sofya Prosvirnova got the title of Champion of Russia: Sonya was in the lead in the 500-meter race in Kolomna, near Moscow.

2015 brought new victories to the short tracker: Sofya Prosvirnova added 3 silver medals (three-time winner) of the European Championship to the collection of awards. And in 2016, her performance at the World Championships brought her a bronze medal in the 3000 m relay.In the same year, the girl became a contract serviceman of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, taking the position of an instructor at CSKA.

In 2017, Sofya Prosvirnova delighted the coach and short track fans with two medals, which she brought from the European Championship. At a distance of 1500 m Sonya came second, and overcame 3000 m third. In the all-around, the girl received silver.

After graduation, Sophia entered the St. Petersburg University of Physical Education, Sports and Health named after P.F. Lesgaft. Soon Prosvirnova was awarded the title of master of sports of international class.

Sofia Prosvirnova felt pride for her chosen sport after the Olympics in Sochi. The Russian short track has made a breakthrough thanks to Viktor An and the national team, which has won world championship titles.

The athlete says that after the Sochi victories in the short track section, children come in their native St. Petersburg who want to be like Ana. And if earlier all comers were admitted to the section due to shortage, today the best are selected.

Sophia is pleased to note the change in the approach to short track speed skating in the country and her hometown. If 5 years ago, the attitude towards short trackers was determined according to the residual principle (ice was given to athletes at 6:45 or 22:00), today skaters are becoming the elite.

Prosvirnova recalls her first steps in short track with a smile. When she was first given special skates and overalls, she burst into tears. The baggy red and black jumpsuit turned out to be a couple of sizes larger, the skates for skaters did not hold up to the graceful ones worn by skaters.

Over time, after the first high-profile victories and medals, a jumpsuit in size and shape was found for the athlete. Sophia's skates were made to order, according to a cast of her leg. Caring for the blades is not easy: while the biathletes have a personal serviceman, the short trackers take care of the skates themselves.

The girl carries 3 grindstones and special machines to the competition. The care tool takes up a lot of space: each athlete has 2 suitcases only for shoes and their care.

Before each sprint workout, Prosvirnova and her colleagues sharpen and grind the blades. The lesson takes from 15 minutes to an hour.

Sophia claims that short track has tempered character. Falls on the track are painful, falling, you need to be able to group so that the landing becomes soft and does not end in a fracture. At the 2015 European Championships, a Hungarian short-tracker who took to the track in front of Sonya broke her leg. Walking out after her required courage and the ability to overcome fear.

Today for Sofia Prosvirnova any extreme is a pleasure. In Sochi, the girl first tried base jumping, jumping from a height of 207 m. Now she dreams of repeating the jump and getting an incredible dose of adrenaline again.

The young athlete does not think about marriage and family. And the work schedule is such that there is no time to think about a romantic relationship.

For Sonya, the ideal day off is at home with her family: with her mother Tatyana, her father Sergei and her younger brother Kolya. Sophia's brother did not follow in his sister's footsteps and is fond of choreography.

The athlete's height is 1.67 m with a weight of 60 kg.

2018 was marked for the St. Petersburg athlete by participation and two bronze medals at the European Championship in Dresden: Prosvirnova brought two bronze medals - from the all-around and 500 m distance.And as part of the Russian national team, the girl became the leader: she came first at a distance of 3000 m.

In February 2018, Sofya Prosvirnova went to the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, having received an invitation from the IOC. The athlete informed the subscribers of Instagram and VKontakte about the good news.
