The 2012 Olympic Games in London were a triumph for Russian gymnasts, led by Uliana Donskovaya, the captain of the national team. There the 20-year-old athlete achieved great success and fame, undoubtedly due to her persistent, patient, strong-willed and independent character. Despite what some might view as somewhat strong qualities, the gifted athlete is a warm and romantic young woman. She loves life and is especially joyful come wintertime with the awaited arrival of her favourite holiday — New Year.
