Svetlana Zhurova. Sportswoman and politician
Beautiful, successful and determined; these three words perfectly describe the impressive Svetlana Zhurova, who is not only a gifted athlete, but also an outstanding politician. The famous speed-skater achieved such acomplishment in both fields thanks to the fact that she never gives up, never wallows in self-pity and takes initiative, solving all problems placed before her.
