But specially for Cosmo Aleksey agreed to describe about his life, love, real estate, his own book and plans for the future.
COSMO: You from four years in the sport, did not tire? Really it did not be desirable in the childhood to run a little with the boys on the puddles?
ALEKSEY: Certainly, it was desirable to take and to throw. But I tried not to walk to trainings of day two, and then again it returned to the roller. It goes without saying, time did not be sufficient not in order to play a little with the children, to take a trip for the city. And when all made domestic task, I was trained. But such that to entirely throw and more not to return to the sport, not it was.
COSMO: Sport does aggravate a feeling of tendency toward the victory, it does interfere this in the daily life?
ALEKSEY: Sport in no way can prevent man. Glory to god, that there was the sport, and glory to god, that the discussion dealt only with conquering. In the life this very strongly helps me.
COSMO: You have a method how to overcome nervousness before the output to ice?
ALEKSEY: I understood that with nervous tension to fight uselessly. Even now, when I leave to the simple appearances, nevertheless I be nervous. Agitation, probably never will leave. But so that it it would be less, necessary more to believe in itself. But this confidence is created only by work. 4 this felt into the last Olympic season. When on the training you carry out 60%, then on the competitions, of course, you be nervous. But then we were trained so that was led ispolnyaemost' of the most complex elements to 90-100%, and to come out was much more simply.
