Russia's Julia Kanakina is set to compete this week for the first time in her life at the Winter Olympics, and after being crowned in her homeland as "the most beautiful athlete at the Olympics", she claims this one-dimensional definition is one of the things that motivates and motivates her.
Kanakina, who participates in the sledding competition, is the world champion for youth, and this year she was already on the podium in two major competitions and in the World Cup she finished fifth.
In the past she has worked in modeling and has done a number of campaigns for commercial companies, with a success that does not characterize athletes from winter sports (other than ice skating) and enjoys 90,000 stars on Instagram.
"We have been preparing for the Olympics for a long time, a lot of work has been done," she said, "I have to keep fit, stay physically and mentally ready."

In the past, she said that treating her as a "beautiful athlete" would bother her, and only increased her desire to win, in the face of rivals who despised her and envied her.
She was a ballet dancer as a child, but preferred to switch to sports, which require quite a bit of physical effort and concentration, with the sleds galloping at tremendous speed.
"I love my body, and if a picture is not rude, why not share it with the world?", She said, "I love to be photographed, I adore the women who show their body."
Now she's getting ready for the competition, and she says, "People tell me, 'Julia, the most important thing is to win.' I don't need you to tell me that. I know. "Do not make sharp movements, and then you will succeed." We all come to the Olympics with one goal, to win.
