Dima Krivoshein and Kristina Mukhametshina, pupils of the Diving department of Sports school named after A.V. Popov, were selected as understudies for the main characters for the movie "My Wild Friend: Homecoming" filming.

Their task was to jump into the cold water from a five-meter height into the river from a bridge, which required not only courage, but also excellent physical fitness.

The guys were supervised by an experienced stuntman from Russia, Vladimir Karpovich, who helped them prepare for filming, teaching them the technique of jumping in the cinema and safety.

Kristina and Dima showed incredible courage and skill, coping with the task perfectly. Their confidence and professionalism captivated the entire film crew, who couldn't help but admire their resilience and energy.

This collaboration has become an important step in the careers of young athletes, opening up new horizons and opportunities for them in the world of cinema. Now they are looking forward to new projects, honing their acrobatic skills and practicing their favorite sport!

We are proud!
