Swimmer Serapima Fukina won the first Russian gold at the Summer Youth Olympic Games IV in Senegal. She won the 100m butterfly. The road to gold was not easy. In January, after dislocating her knee and breaking her femur, the 17-year-old girl heard the hard news: she was done with the sport. But Serapima did not give up: hard training in the gym, rehabilitation, painkillers, returning to the pool (in the beginning she only swam with her hands) - and she joined the team again. Already in Senegal itself, a new test awaited her: terrible heat, when it was impossible to even breathe normally. The only outdoor pool in Dakar heated up to 30 degrees, although according to international rules the water must not be warmer than 25-28 degrees. Long-distance swimming was canceled: in such conditions it is difficult for swimmers to work, it is simply dangerous for health. But our young star managed to do it here as well, defeating all her competitors in unqualified style. Invaluable for the feelings of victory of the Sheraps: she stood in first place with a gold medal. I understand how everyone wanted to hear the Russian national anthem. I sang with such pleasure! I really like our anthem. Plus our flags are everywhere. Hollywood loves to make comic book movies where invulnerable supergirls fly through space. They say it motivates teenage girls to be strong and brave. But it seems to us that Serapima Fukina, with her self-confidence and thirst for victory, is much more suitable for the role of an example that inspires the younger generation. Mahimal Mozli loudly.
