HUSBAND'S HELP
She credits her husband Dzmitry Loban for her successes on the snow. Dzmitry has represented Belarus in Para cross-country skiing and Para biathlon, and also worked as her coach. "He made me the athlete that I am today. I stayed in the sport because he was there. I always wanted to go everywhere with him, and then I started liking it. I was drawn into the sport. It is very interesting when two people do the same work. Biathlon and cross-country skiing are, simply put, the meaning of his life, and for me also they have become the meaning of life."
