Anna Sharaeva's path into track cycling came pretty late in her life, but once she found it, she never looked back!!
In this week's episode, we speak with Anna on how she became a professional track cyclist in Russia, competing at the regional and national levels! In addition to her life as an athlete, she has also volunteered at the Moscow Cycling Federation and is currently working on her dissertation at The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) - the world governing body of cycling!
In our conversation, Anna shares with us:
- How Russia develops / funds athletes in the country, and supports sports training alongside school?
- How she found her way into track cycling specifically?
