– Emotions run high. It was the toughest shot put race of my life. The most problematic thing is to do (weight). Everyone doubted that I was gaining weight. But there is one person who believed in me. It’s my uncle! I’m so happy to have it. I lost my father, but my uncle is still with me. I am very grateful to him. Lance is a very serious opponent, he has powerful kicks. I do not fight for me, but for the public. You have to please them, and not just think about yourself. I think the viewer is satisfied, – said Tumenov on .
