I’m incredibly happy and proud to have become a Sochi 2014 Ambassador, especially on the 4th of July, the anniversary of Russia winning the right to host 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi. Last two years have been the most successful years in my sporting career, but I hope to better this and win gold at the most exciting event I will ever have been a part of – first ever winter Olympics in Russia. Although it is very prestigious, it is difficult to win in your native country as everyone is expecting the victory from you and it is hard not to feel the pressure. As a newly appointed Sochi 2014 Ambassador I would like to continue to promote my sport and be a hero for future champions
