“With a mentor like Karina, everything is on the shoulder. I boxed here last year. I want to say that fencing is much more difficult. Here you need to maintain maximum concentration. A fraction of a second can lead you to victory or defeat. But if you train, then it is possible, ”- quotes Zagitov “Match TV”.

21-year-old Zagitova is an Olympic champion in women’s singles (2018), European champion (2018) and world champion (2019). Aznavourian, 48, is the 2000 and 2004 Olympic champion in the epee team tournament.
