Polina Biryukova, a student at the RUDN University Engineering Academy, demonstrated excellent results in rowing, winning awards at the All-Russian stages of the Student Rowing League.
Following the competition in Sestroretsk, the girl was awarded a "blue diploma," and at the final race in Moscow, she won a "green diploma," triumphantly ending the season.
Each stage of the league brings together the strongest crews from across Russia, and the academic boat race demands extreme concentration, endurance, and team spirit. For Polina, rowing has long since become more than just a sport, but an important part of student life.
"Racing will remain the most emotional moments of my entire student life. During the races, you experience a full range of emotions: from fear and excitement before the start to the excitement and extreme tension during the race. And of course, it all culminates in either the pure joy of victory or the bitterness of defeat, which drives you forward," says Polina Biryukova.
Discipline, teamwork, and composure under pressure are qualities Polina hones through training and competition. These skills help her not only in sports but also in her studies, developing the leadership qualities and stress resilience necessary for a modern engineer.
