Sporting philosophy / motto"Don't give up. Fight until the end." (sport-express.ru, 10 Feb 2018)  
Other informationELISTRATOV CENTRE
In November 2020 a short track skating centre in his hometown of Ufa, Russian Federation, was named after him. "I began short track skating at age 10. If someone had told me [at the time] that an ice arena would be named after me, I would have laughed of course. I am an ordinary guy and would never say such words as 'great' or 'outstanding' of myself. In general, I have a very difficult attitude to my regalia and victories in the sports arena, when there are many more important areas. This is a huge responsibility for me." (Instagram profile, 30 Nov 2020; rsport.ria.ru, 24 Nov 2020)

FATHERHOOD
He said that ahead of the 2019/20 season his mentality in competition had changed, and that a reason for this may have been the birth of his son Lev in 2018. "I think the most important thing that has changed is my head. Hence the changes in tactics, and it seems to me I began to navigate [the race] faster. My head became stronger, maybe due to the fact that I became a father. I can't explain it, I just feel the race, I understand what will happen. It's a pity that it came at age 30, not at 22."
