Ms. Namita Nayyar: You must have started short track speed skating at a young age as you reached the pinnacle of success by winning four Gold’s at 2005 European Championships at Turin in speed skating. What factors you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Tatiana Borodulina: I started to do sports at age of 8 years but it wasn’t short-track. It was figure skating, I switched to short track at the age of 13 years. A lot of hard work and support from my family and coaches, all of it helped me to achieve this.

You injured your knee while skiing in 2001. During the 2011/2012 season, you were suffering from pain in your back and went to cure your chronic disc protrusion in hospital before the start of the next season. How you were able to overcome such a physical injury/setback and what advice you can give to fellow sports person in a similar situation?
Ms. Tatiana Borodulina:
All of this is our professional injuries, if not every first then every second skater has this problems. I was lucky because I didn’t make it through on my own. Lot of work and support of team’s medical staff made my recovery easier and faster. The only advice I can give never rush, better to take time and fully recover after injury, if possible.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine which you shall like to share?
Ms. Tatiana Borodulina:
Lunges are important for skating and something I do everyday. Stand with your feet shoulder’s width apart, spine long and straight, shoulders back, gaze forward. Step forward with one leg into a wide stance (about one leg’s distance between feet) while maintaining spine alignment. Lower your hips until both knees are bent at approximately a 90 degree angle. Your front knee should not extend over your ankle, and your back knee should hover above the ground. Keep your weight in your heels as you push back up to starting position. Repeat on both sides.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Tatiana Borodulina:
I don’t take any diet. I just try to eat healthy food. More vegies, fruits and lots of water.
