BRICS Games Champion Svetlana Kolesnichenko: “I can now proudly say that I am doing what I love”
Svetlana Kolesnichenko won the first gold for Russia at the 2024 BRICS Games in Kazan; she won the solo technical programme in synchronised swimming. Later, together with Mayya Doroshko, she added two more medals to the Russian team’s total.
What do these awards mean to the athlete? What was the atmosphere at the BRICS Games? What does Svetlana tell the younger generation in her hometown? Which athletes inspire her? How did she learn to cope with stress, and why doesn't she skate?
The athlete spoke about all this in an interview with TV BRICS.
