– The opponent turned out to be predictable for me. Four days of break before the first fight worried me, so there was a lot of confusion. Now I have breathed and from battle to battle I will accelerate. This is my second world championship. In Serbia I played unsuccessfully and was disqualified due to my emotions and unusual surroundings. It’s easier now, but the excitement is there because it’s the World Cup. There are no “whipping bags” here, and every athlete comes out as if for the last fight. It’s more convenient for me when the opponent is bigger, because I’m small, I shake my body and I find it difficult to hit myself. In the first round I tried to hit more in the belly then work on the head.
