You became an Olympic champion at the 2016 games in Rio, how intense is the preparation now considering that you’re aiming to protect your title?

In your Instagram you have a lot of photos in stylish outfits, does your sport allow you to dress up sometimes?

In NBA, the pre-game fashion is essential, is women's handball the same?

Recently, you and your teammates appeared on the cover of the magazine that was devoted to showing femininity of handball players, how critical is the question of femininity in sports in Russia?

I don’t think it’s a very critical issue. In general, I think handball is a pretty gracious sport. Every girl has different body complexity. Some are tiny and feisty, some are taller. Everyone has a unique body and beauty, and they all radiate a particular sportive strength, very strong energy and inner beauty. We’re fighters in life and on the court, and it doesn’t stop us from being feminine. Sometimes we can be rough in a game, but outside of that we’re fragile ladies. Overall, I think handball is a very feminine sport

You lived in Italy for 3 years and you are married to an Italian. Do you also like any of the great Italian artists?

I wouldn’t say I have a favorite Italian artist, my soul is more open to Italian street-art. One time me and my husband were at a friends’ wedding in a little town Orgosolo, in Sardinia. This is a very small and mafia town, the welcome road sign has several bullet holes, and it looks scary in the beginning, but then the town reveals its beauty. It is very touristy, because of abundant colorful graffitis covering multiple city walls. I am very fond of bright colors, thats why I have these views deep in my memory, it was incredible seeing this street art with my own eyes.

The design that you created in collaboration with Elena contains a lot of colors. What do these colors represent?

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
