Verniaev's QA

Oleg Verniaev answered a few short questions about his lifestyle to a Ukrainian website.
Here's my translation.
Q: With what activity do you start your day?
A: First thing in the morning I'm checking news on my phone. Not much of an activity, but you asked to be honest.

Q: How often do you train?
A: I train 7 hours every day. I only get rest from training on Sundays.

Q: What's your relationship with alcohol?
A: Actively searching for each other.
[this is a joke based on the relationship status on the Russian social media Vkontakte, where you could choose "actively searching" as a relationship status]

Q: What do you have to give up?
A: Getting back to the last question: I don't drink alcohol. I don't drink, don't go to nightclubs. These kinds of things are not compatible with sport.

Q: What's your life outside of sport?
A: All the things normal people do. My most favorite thing to do is to drive around Kiev at night. The city is beautiful.

Q: What would happen to your body if you stopped training fro a month?
A: I think, I'd gain 10 kilos and become fat and hideous.
