– It turns out to be a failure. And this whole situation has pushed me into a hole. In fact, I didn’t know what to do anymore. Was completely lost. I thought, is this really all? Is this really my maximum, that I only become European champion and that’s it?
Few people really believed in me. I’ve already heard so many times that my limit is Europe, that I won’t gain anything else. What should be emphasized about others. He withdrew into himself and spoke little. Even at home with my parents. They saw that it was hard for me. It didn’t work, although I continued to train hard. Usually you train twice a day, but I started doing it three or four times without rest. That is to say from one training to another, from one to another…
In this regard, my father helped a lot. He sat with me and talked. We have reached a common point [знаменателю]. I think what my father did directly gave a very strong impetus for me to become world champion. He found a man, a sports psychologist. At first, I didn’t want to go to him at all. My father insisted and I went. I went to see him for a little over a month. Consciousness has changed. I was excited. The choleric fought and argued more with the judges. When I was punished, I raised my hands. After that, I became calmer and began to approach everything more professionally. He left with a cool head, calmly.

And the technical staff decided after my failure that I was going to the World Championships. And somewhere, I understood that this was my chance.
