1. ALEXANDRA VYKHAREVA
It goes without saying
that sport is important in
our life. In the hectic world
of today everybody wants
to be fit and feel good. Of
course, there are those
who do sport professionally
and it plays the main role
in their lives.

2. I am going to speak
about Alexandra
Vykhareva. She has a
lot of achievements:
The master of Sport in
Eventing ;
The winner of annual
championship “Future
Samara”;
The champion of the
Volga Federal District‟;
 The champion of the
Federal Districts;
The champion of
Russia.

3. When Alexandra was
9 years old her parents
brought her to stable.
„I was not scared. I
had an eagerness to
saddle a horse‟, says
Alexandra.
She
chose
the
equestrian
sport
because her first word
was “a horse” and from
her childhood she has
been keen on these
graceful animals.

4. Alexandra entered into
equestrian sports club
“Avant-garde". After
exhausting trainings she
took part in her first
competition – the
Championship of Samara.
But, unfortunately, Alexandra
was disqualified because of
her horse did not obeying
her. The trainer always
believed in Sasha and
supported her. The first
competition which Alexandra
won was the annual
Championship “Future
Samara” and since then luck
did not leave her.

5. In 2007 Alexandra‟s
parents bought her a
horse called Ebran.
Namely with it she
received the title “The
champion of Russia”.
But the most
unforgettable moment in
her life was The World
Cup, which was held in
Moscow. Although there
were lots of experienced
sportsmen Alexandra
managed to take the 6th
place, fighting the Olympic
Champions.

6. In August 18th, 2009
Alexandra was invited to
the forum “The Golden
Youth” which was held in
Moscow sport complex
“Olympic”. Namely there
Vladimir Putin presented
her The Presidential
Award.
Of course, it was difficult
to combine the study and
sport. But the parents‟
support and her trainer‟s
instructions helped
Alexandra to become a
successful sportswoman
and a great person.

7. „My trainer was like my
second father. He was
strict but he was proud
of me and helped me in
difficult situations‟, says
Sasha.
Now Alexandra is a
policewoman and a
crack jack. The rigorous
work schedule does not
prevent her from helping
the young sportsmen.
