Male Female

I'm a professional fencing athlete, and fencing is a sport that I really enjoy playing and watching. I've been doing it for a while, around six or even seven years. I started when I was a kid, at 10 years old. I never thought that I would become a professional athlete and represent my country in international tournaments. Right now, I'm a member of the national fencing team of Kazakhstan, and I represent Kazakhstan in World Cups, Asian Championships, and World Championships. I really enjoy it; it's been my passion for a while, and I can't imagine my life without it. I usually practice every day because, as a professional, I have daily training sessions. In my situation, I have two training sessions per day, totaling ten training sessions a week. I don't regret it; I really enjoy it. I'm so excited that I'm able to do it right now. It's my life passion, as I said before, and I would like to do it for my entire life. I usually watch my fencing bouts with my parents, especially with my dad. Since I started doing it professionally, he has also started to explore it. He never watched sports much before, but when his son began fencing, he became interested as well. I really enjoy watching fencing bouts with him, whether it's the Olympics or World Championships, because it really matters to me.
