- Nina Dmitrievna is my first and favourite coach. I started going in for kayak-paddling in 1979. Sport camp, competitions, walking trips are very happy time of my life.

Thank you, Nina Dmitrievna!

- I started going in for kayak-paddling when I studied in the sixth form. I devoted to it six years. And I fell in love with this kind of sport and with the beauty of rivers due to Nina Dmitrievna. Now I serve in the armed forces. Thank you, Nina Dmitrievna for your good training and your kind heart!

Kayak-paddling became part and parcel of my life on the 1st of September when I got to know Nina Dmitrievna. I’m fond of kayak-paddling lessons and competitions. I’d like to continue going in for it. Nina Dmitrievna is a good example for me.

Thank you, Nina Dmitrievna!
