Details on the website https://sbp.russiarunning.com/ Until the age of 40, Marina was an ordinary housewife raising two children, bustling around the house. She had not been involved in sports since childhood, she went to the gym and then only to communicate with her friends. But changes occurred in Marina's life, the relationship ended, the children grew up and Marina was drawn to cyclic sports. At first, Marina ran, but about 5 years ago, her friend gave her a slot for a triathlon in Zavidovo, rented her a bike, and Marina had to take part in this competition. That's how she got acquainted with cycling. In just 3-4 years, Marina became a noticeable figure in amateur cycling in Russia. And in 2021, she became the first Russian athlete in whose honor, despite the sanctions of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Russian anthem was played at international competitions. What a scandal it was. #bike #running #cycling Timestamps: 00:50 - about the podcast guest 06:36 - about running 13:21 - pandemic, the start of a cycling career 15:51 - a gift from a friend - a slot in a triathlon 19:18 - how Alyosha went riding with Marina for the first time 22:55 - why do you need a cycling coach (as a reproach to triathletes) 25:00 - buying your first road bike 27:30 - how and why friends gave you a track bike 29:23 - first impressions of the velodrome 31:23 - at what age did Marina first get on a bike 32:39 - first race on the track and a hard fall on the track from the very top 34:47 - falling under a bus from a bike 38:16 - a story about Sasha's falls 40:20 - dangerous situations on the cycling rings in Krylatskoye 43:09 - about group races and tactics 44:22 - meeting coach Konstantin Kuperasov 48:52 - Kuperasov's departure from Zubov Team 49:52 - gathered for the Russian Professional Cycling Championships 53:35 - an athlete won't be able to win by chance, because an amateur is obviously weaker 55:07 - how to get to the Russian Championships 58:12 - about the track 01:03:53 - about sponsors 01:04:41 - about the World Championships in Sarajevo 01:11:56 - scandal at the World Championships in Sarajevo, when the Russian anthem was played instead of Tchaikovsky at the awards ceremony 01:13:59 - about the prize money at the World Championships in Sarajevo 01:17:19 - what it's like to be a world champion 01:19:52 - about Konstantin Kuperasov's Impulse cycling team 01:21:48 - about rivalry with the Serpentine club 01:26:33 - what would have happened if Marina had been sent to cycling as a child 01:27:31 - about Marina's training process 01:28:27 - how much does the track cost and how much does Marina spend per month on sports 01:32:38 - about plans 01:36:52 - World Track Championship 01:37:37 - how to get into Marina's cycling team
