Sambo wrestler Vera Lotkova, who represents Yekaterinburg and won the Spartakiad in the category up to 54 kg on her 23rd birthday, shared her emotions after the tournament.
Winning on a day like this is cool?
– Of course, it is possible to make a gift. True, I did not read the congratulations until the final so as not to be distracted, now, I think, there are a lot of them on the phone.
– The toughest match of the tournament?
– Final with Yana Kokovic. Before that, I lost against her, an experienced and physically strong girl, she always matches very well.
– Can you compare Spartakiad with world or European champions?
– Rather, Russian championships, and there is no stronger competition than him, in my opinion. Very skillful, “USSR”, roughly speaking, athletes participate. In any case, the Spartakiad is for us the main start of the season. Now you can relax and unwind a bit.
– Will you give fans the white chrysanthemums that were presented to you at the awards ceremony?
– No, I’ll take it to the hotel and put it in a vase.
— Which martial arts, besides sambo, do you follow with particular interest?
– I watch MMA and UFC, I like freestyle wrestling.
– Who are you focusing on sportingly?
— Petr Yan and Rose Namajunas. There is another Asian who fights all the time with Rose, also interesting.
On Sunday, Kazan will host the second day of the finals of the sambo competitions.
