The bronze medalist of the World Cup Anna Sol was born on February 16 in the urban -type village of Shumilino Vitebsk region of Belarus. She grew up in the village of Zavyazye, which is six kilometers from Shumilino. Her mother raised. Has Vika's older sister. Although they lived well, but together: “In the family, everyone was ready to give their last shirt,” said Anna.

From an early age, she was accustomed to peasant work, they had a large personal economy. She went to school three kilometers from the house - in Yazvino. And this was not a problem.

In severe frosts, many students did not go to school, but this is not about us - they went in any weather, ”she recalled. Actively playing sports. The crosses ran well. In winter, she was fond of skiing: “When in winter a car that cleaned the snow passed, after it it turned out to be a good road to ski skating style. And for the "classics" she trampled on her skiing in the fields.

" She started with performances at school and district competitions. There she was noticed by coach Gennady Nikolaevich Salopaev. In the ninth grade, Anna Sol entered the Novopolotsk School of the Olympic Reserve. During these years, Anna was also allowed to participate in youth and junior competitions, and at the home Cup of the world of the year in Raubichi she won the junior world title with a relay team, which also included Dinara Alimbekova and Daria Blashko.

In her first race in Estersund in November, she finished and received her first four points of the World Cup. As part of the relay team, she was twice the seventh. In the year, she was announced to the World Cup in Holmenkollen, where she took a place in the sprint. From a year, she performed only in the IBU Cup. At some point, the biathlete lost motivation and thought about leaving sports.

She could not shoot normally or run normally. A month before the Winter Olympic Games of the year in Pyeongchang, Sol announced to the trainers that she was going to complete his sports career: “She left home, I wanted to turn off that they would forget about me and simply won’t touch me. I thought that I had to move away from sports, do something else, ”the biathlete recalled.

Then Anna Sol, she said, was confused and did not know what she wanted to do in life. During that time, I managed to work at a ski box office, organize a trampoline arena. Then, at the request of the Biathlon Federation, she went to the Novopolotsk School of the Olympic Reserve to work with young athletes. It turned out to be very useful. Then I promised myself that if I have another year, according to the results, it would be worse than the previous one, I will tie with sports, ”the biathlete shared.

But after three months of work in the Novopolotsk school, Anna Sol decided to return to the sport: “I arrived, passed testing, and then I was sent to France for a week, worked there with the coach. Volumetric workouts were carried out, during which they practically did not change the equipment. And the coach said that I am doing everything right. I was interested, and I felt that there was progress.

Statistics of shooting were also good. This experience was very useful. ” And Anna Sol received a place in the team at the stages of the World Cup after the restructuring of the Belarusian national team at the end of the Winter Olympic Games of the year. She also finished in the top ten in three relay races. Anna also won a bronze medal at the European Championship in a mixed relay.

Anna Sol's socio-political position during an acute political crisis in Belarus in August, when protest performances began after the presidential election, Anna Sol became the only biathlonist of the Belarusian team, which refused to sign the letter in support of Alexander Lukashenko.

She explained: “I have something to say thanks to the country, but first of all I would like the sport to stay outside the politics. It is difficult to concentrate on sports results when you read sad news from Belarus. Therefore, my position is not even political, but universal: for the world, compliance with laws and the solution of any issues without the use of violence.

” The growth of Anna Sols: centimeter. With her future husband, she began to communicate on the Internet, although before that, common friends tried to contribute to acquaintance.After three months of communication, Stanislav Bozhkov came to Anna for a New Year's fee, overcoming almost 2 thousand kilometers by car for this.
