Dasha Sokolova biography

Daria Sokolova fulfilled the standard of the master of sports in swimming, then successfully performed in the triathlon competitions - she won the Russian championship in the relay twice, was included in the national team of St. Petersburg, and in this form she was awarded the title of master of sports. Overcoming himself ahead of the great victories, but everything broke off in an instant - at the gathering in Kyrgyzstan, a girl shot down a truck in training.

Dasha at the age of 20 lost both legs. After the tragedy, it was very easy to succumb to self -pity, but she turned out to be a real athlete in spirit. After leaving the hospital, I began to engage in the center of adaptive physical education and adaptive sports.

I train with wonderful specialists, I am supported by the director of the center Vera Alexandrovna Kuznetsova. Until I chose Paralympic discipline, I try myself in swimming and fencing in strollers, ”said Daria Sokolova. The case with Daria Sokolova gives a reason to think about what sport is. Professional sport is hard work, often taking health. Amateur sport - a type of leisure, entertainment, sometimes an element of social life.

But, probably, the meaning of sports was originally in overcoming a person of himself, in victory over his weaknesses and shortcomings. A person may not be an athlete, but to be a real athlete in spirit - not tolerating defeats anywhere and in nothing, ready at any moment to accept the call of the opponent, even if fate is. And the words “fight with fate” are not just a phrase, behind them someone’s real life.

The recently ambitious plans, Daria Sokolova received a powerful charge of positive emotions - she was welcomed by 50 thousand spectators at the stadium, where she, before the Zenit match, CSKA struck a symbolic first hit on the ball. The deputy of the city parliament Pavel Krupnik helped Dasha to go to the central circle of field. On his page on the social network, he wrote: “Help, the participation of many, completely different people did their job - Dasha with us, she lives, recovers, trains, builds the most ambitious plans for the future.
