NELEEVA Daria skier biography

The younger sister of the Olympic champion Daria told RIA Novosti Sports about quarrels with her sister and love for her, the desire to get married and start at the Olympics under the Russian flag. Do you have the same sensations? There is no feeling that I miss the house.

We are at the training camp for months and almost my whole family is with me, there is only only mom, dad and brother. We are all in a very good relationship, they always support me. Sometimes even too much, sometimes there is too much that. I love them all, and they are my family. And I will always be on the side of my sister, even if she does something wrong, I will always be for her. She is one of the closest people for me.

I will be very bored. Under her control? She sometimes gives up advice strongly, I listen to them, but I do not always listen. Can she replace mom? From childhood, when we were small, she took care of me. We have a difference for seven years, it used to feel very much, now we have almost equalized, I do not feel the difference in age. She knows all my secrets, I am her. Yes, sometimes she is still trying to impose her opinion, because she is older, more experienced and wiser, but I myself want to decide something.

She very often gives me tactical advice. In life, she can also advise me something, and I can help her with something. Despite the fact that I am younger, she can listen to my advice, it is very valuable to me. For example, why did she take my jacket or left without demand in new boots. Do you have this? As a child, we fought almost every day, now there is no such thing. We very rarely swear with her, and when we swear, we don’t fight for sure, we just can’t talk a day, and then everything comes to naught, and we communicate further.

But before, we constantly quarreled, because at home we shared one room. Now we can share clothes. When she is at home, she constantly takes something from me. Does this not put pressure on you? All adequate people understand that there is no need to hang medals on me. There are many girls of my year who run the same or even better, but there is no such close attention to them.

I abstract from this and is completely calm. And my parents do not put pressure on me at all, they understand that I am different, like Natasha. Each has its own road. For example, I communicate with many adult skiers, it seems to me only in this. In terms of training and competitions, there is nothing like that. Of course, I look at how cool it is, but I will not run faster.

Everyone strives to beat her, and I am no exception. Additionally, she also plays that she is my sister. Sasha told me about this in a few days. It was not difficult to keep secret, it was very exciting, tears rolled up when he made an offer. I persuaded her to dress beautifully, we constantly go somewhere in Tver, and then she didn’t really want to dress up. I told her: "Let's go take a picture." And she is to me: "Come on, you are already from me." But in the end, she still persuaded her.

She expected that there would be a proposal, but did not know what was on this day. I understand that everything is my time, I'm still young. It’s definitely not worth a hurry with this, but when you look at it ... I was also completely immersed in the organizational moments of Natasha’s wedding, and this is so reverent. How important is this? It seems to me that it is difficult to be with a person who is not from your sphere, because you are constantly at the training camp, at home we are only one week a month.

I was the last time at home in early September. It seems to me that if I had a young man not from the ski sphere, he would have said to me for a long time: “Come on you! I’m constantly asking something, he is very smart and well-read. It seems to me that if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have managed to become a world champion among the youths. He told me all year, how and what to do in every training.

He was advised by the use of drops with the doctor, he gave him a good man, he will not make him rash mistakes, all our family, Natasha, Sasha, it was very difficult to return. You I agree with her? I still need to train and train. The trip there was already a holiday for me, I was small, not only by age, but by expectations, I really wanted to try myself. Then so many things fell on me, for example, I won two medals at the Junior World Championship, I was on emotions.

And when they were removed, there was just a misunderstanding of what was happening. We just arrived and left, everything was strange and crumpled. That's who was very upset then, so Natasha, because she then fought for the World Cup.Then they brought me to the competition so that I just looked, felt what the World Cup is, there was no hint of medals there. I was very raw. I think I could fight for the top this season I want to gain a foothold in the main team, to become one of the leaders in the sprint races.

Would you agree to perform without a flag and anthem? Savely Korostelev and I were the last to listen to the anthem of Russia at the junior world championship. When I stood on the pedestal in the first place and the country's flag rose, the anthem sounded, it was such pride, I almost burst into tears with emotions. From childhood, dad brought me up so much, he instilled love for his homeland.

In this matter, I support my leader Elena Valerievna Vyalba, because she is a very wise woman and she has only to study and study. And I support my sister, because we are one family, we have one upbringing, I am completely solid with her. I have very large ambitions, I already want to experience it all. In general, you train for the Olympic Games.
