    Start of sporting career
    He took up luge at age 12 in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. (Athlete, 27 Dec 2013)

    Reason for taking up this sport
    Vladislav Antonov, a former classmate who has since become his partner in doubles, invited him to try the sport. (rusluge.ru, 29 Sep 2012)

    General
    TEAMMATES SINCE CHILDHOOD
    His partnership with doubles partner Vladislav Antonov began when the pair were still in school. "At the beginning of the school year, we were writing an essay on how we had spent the summer. My friend wrote that he had been luge sliding over the holidays. I was so envious that I also wanted to try it, so he took me to the club. That classmate was Vlad Antonov. Together, we have come from school to the world championships. In no way can we let each other down." (team-russia2014.ru, 09 Feb 2012)
