I was a competitive gymnast for 16 years, so passion, discipline, and a bit of risk have always been part of my life. That naturally turned into a love for freestyle skiing, something about flying through the air gave me such a rush, but peace at the same time.<br \/>\n2. I&#8217;m always writing. I love to journal. I write things down so I can look back one day and see how much I&#8217;ve grown, and sometimes I laugh at what felt like the biggest problem in that moment. It helps me stay grounded. I&#8217;ve found that sometimes it&#8217;s hard to say exactly how you feel, but when you write it down, it just comes out more easily.<br \/>\n3. I love sparkles. Most of my wardrobe is glitter, color, and over-the-top pieces, even if I&#8217;m just running errands. I never really care if I&#8217;m overdressed. I&#8217;d rather wear what makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Tell us about your hometown.<\/strong><br \/>\nI was born in New York City and grew up between Manhattan and my hometown in Mexico, Culiac\u00e1n, Sinaloa. I spent a lot of my early years going back and forth. The best thing about Culiac\u00e1n is that my whole family is there. I loved the culture, the food, swimming in the pool at our house, and spending time with all my cousins. It honestly felt like Disneyland to me. The worst part was always having to leave and go back to New York. In Manhattan, I loved going to gymnastics as a kid. But the hardest part was feeling so far from my family in Mexico.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-74618 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/08\/mdcselects_mykolalitovtsev03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Mykola Litovtsev\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/08\/mdcselects_mykolalitovtsev03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-74629\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-74629'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Mykola Litovtsev\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/08\/mdcselects_mykolalitovtsev04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Mykola Litovtsev\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/08\/mdcselects_mykolalitovtsev04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-74630\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-74630'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Mykola Litovtsev\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/08\/mdcselects_mykolalitovtsev05.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Mykola Litovtsev\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/08\/mdcselects_mykolalitovtsev05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-74631\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-74631'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Mykola Litovtsev\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Mykola<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nMykola Litovtsev \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/kolya.lit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@kolya.lit<\/a> \u2014 Ukrainian from Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine \u2014 born September 30th \u2014 188 cm \/ 6&#8217;2&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nMix Model Management (Bratislava &#8211; mother agency), <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/INDEPENDENT-MODEL-MANAGEMENT\">Independent Model Management (Milan)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Share a bit about your background and upbringing.<\/strong><br \/>\nI was born in Ukraine, but at 14, I decided to move to another city because I wanted to live and study somewhere else.
