The time difference between this two videos 9 years.
My first trick and my current tricks. I want to thank everyone who was with me during this long journey. Especially want to mention my coach - @trukchan thank you for teaching, helping, cheering and believing in me though all this time.

Campeonato mundial sub 17 anos.
Foi uma semana incrível!
Garotos adultos, maturidade e porque não profissionalismo impecável.
Ahumada lake em San Jose na Argentina, dispensa comentários bem como a organização do evento. Tivemos a honra de estar com a equipe ucraniana que após treinar conosco no @ceai_waterski_brazil , por 45 dias foi pra competição afiada.
Em três esquiadores ganharam 4 ouros, @mykhailichenko.mykhailo ouro no overall, truques e equipe, @1ivan_zelentsov ouro em equipe, prata em truques e em saltos e overall e @mariia.popova_ ouro em equipe e bronze em saltos!
Turma determinada, focada , exemplo pra todos nós.
Obrigado @freirerauldoamaral e @ceai_waterski_brazil 🙏🏻🏆🥇
Ivan Zelentsov 🇺🇦✨
Desde Ucrania hasta el Lago Ahumada, con la determinación de quien se prepara para representar a su país en el escenario mundial.
Con 15 años, Ivan llega a Argentina para competir en el IWWF World U17, después de meses de entrenamiento intenso. Ya se encuentra preparándose en el lago, afinando cada detalle junto a su equipo para vivir esta experiencia única y enfrentar a los mejores jóvenes esquiadores del planeta.
Traslasierra lo recibe con el lago listo y toda la energía del Mundial.
Nos vemos muy pronto en el agua 🌊🏆
