The best athlete in Russia for 2025, pole vaulter Polina Knoroz, shared her thoughts on the negative comments directed towards her.
“I absolutely take it in stride. There are as many opinions as there are people. I can’t change my actions based on what others want. There’s only one life, and I live it in a way that feels right to me,” Knoroz stated in an exclusive interview with “Championat.”
The 26-year-old Polina Knoroz is a two-time champion of Russia (2023, 2025). In the past season of 2025, she achieved a personal best by clearing a height of 4.86 meters during the Russian Championship held in Kazan.
