Education
Luba Cherkashina initially involved in acrobatics. Then she went to gymnastics. She was not at it. Then the mother took her daughter to the Brest Sports School6, to coach Eugen Zolotnitskaya.
Yevgenia Nikolaevna was in a sports school head coach in rhythmic gymnastics, and that it accidentally "stumbled" visitors. The first coach did not hide the fact that the girl at first "did not appear." There was a tall, stout (it is now among the other "artists" call girl-reed), and most importantly - she was already "whole" nine years! Begin to engage in artistic gymnastics at that age is a matter of hopeless. All decided her eyes - they burned with the desire to become an athlete.
In his first competition Luba came unexpectedly. For team it was need to "close" position of 11-year-old girls. The choice fell on Cherkashina. In the Republican contests, it took one of the last places. But it attracted the attention, so that in November 2000 she was taken to Minsk sportinternat.
