heinnews: And how many World Championships have the Foxes appeared at? 

Rozkova: There were two Worlds in Japan and Turkey and five EuroBaskets.

 

heinnews: What is your favorite memory of the 2004 Olympics and also from the 2008 Olympics?

Rozkova: Personally my favorite memory from the Olympics in Athens was the award ceremony for women. After being on the podium, the USA girls made a special joking photo shooting with ReD Foxes, and gave us their medals for that. It was so much fun. In Beijing, I was traveling with my 9-month daughter Eva, and it seems that local people were so surprised to see a white blue-eyed baby that they came to touch her on every corner.

heinnews:What are you looking forward to most at the London Games?

Rozkova: To meet more new people, to receive more applause and to show the world ReD Foxes’ talents.

 

heinnews: How many dancers will you have? And how many dances? How many more dances have you come up with since EuroBasket 2011, if any? 

Rozkova: In total we are 12 people, 11 dancers and me. We have 14 dance routines for the basketball Olympic tournaments.

 

heinnews: The ReD Foxes also expanded into the world of football, what was your favorite part of taking part in the Euro 2012? 

Rozkova: My most favorite part was the premier of the ReD Foxes song Winners. So many people enjoyed our live singing-dancing performances. On the final day at the Kiev Fan Zone there were 100,000 people in audience – it was an amazing feeling.
