Cheerleader of the Week 2016: Zhanna

At 13, most kids are learning how to deal with homework and hormones. For Colts rookie cheerleader, Zhanna, her teenage years were a whole new world.

“I was born and raised in Voronezh, Russia. I moved when I was almost 13,” she says.

Her mother’s best friend from Russia moved to Iowa and introduced her to a man she fell in love with.

“They had the fairytale story and she got married and we got to move here to the States,” she says.

But it wasn’t a fairytale for her – at least, not right away.
