The world of sports is sometimes very cruel. Frequent injuries, constant training, lack of time for personal life. All this does not apply to the heroes of our story. Ilya Chernousov and Selina Gasparin are athletes who have achieved a lot. In their piggy bank there are Olympic medals. In addition, hearts are filled with love, and wedding rings flaunt on ring fingers. We will talk about how to combine feelings and sports achievements in an article.
Selina Gasparin - Dream Girl
Which of the girls did not dream of doing biathlon? The only question is that this is a rather difficult sport. Exhausting workouts, low temperatures that adversely affect the skin of the face.
Selina Gasparin is from Switzerland. Since childhood, she and her sisters decided to play sports. And Selina's dream came true. At the very beginning of her career, she performed in individual races, but since 2006 she participated in a mixed team.
The girl’s biggest success was the earned silver medal at the Olympic Games in Sochi. It was not only a personal victory, but the whole country. Switzerland first took such high positions in biathlon among girls.
Who is Ilya Chernousov?
Ilya was born in Novobosirsk. Due to the fact that the family was athletic, constantly went hiking, a boy of 2 years went skiing. He came to professional sports quite late, at the age of 14.
A truly steel character, exhausting workouts helped the guy to win sports peaks. The most important award was the bronze medal of the Olympic Games in Sochi.
Love at first sight happens
Selina Gasparin and Ilya Chernousov met back in 2011. It happened at a training base in a Swiss ski resort. The girl notes that this was not just sympathy, but love at first sight.
To get acquainted with the athlete, Ilya had to stand in line for an autograph at a children's festival. What was the girl’s surprise when among the kids she saw a painfully familiar face.
Since that time, the couple has not parted. Rather, they constantly went to training bases, each in their own country. Communicated via phone and video conferencing in Skype. For 3 years of meetings, the longest break in communication was 4 days. It was on the eve of the most important Olympic Games in Sochi, where both athletes were able to stand on the podium.
The biggest problem in communicating between lovers was not distance, but the language barrier. Sometimes I had to speak with gestures. Currently, the problem is solved, the couple perfectly mastered the English language.
The wedding of Ilya Chernousov and Selina Gasparin became a logical complement to their relationship. Young people celebrated a magnificent celebration, forcing everyone to believe in love at first sight.
