Do you believe in victory?
I believed and knew that I had to win. Now I am one of the best in this distance, because Anna Kulinich-Sorokina, the winner of the Paralympic Games, after her pregnancy. She is generally smart, that she came early, deserves respect. Moreover, one of their main rivals was eliminated in the semi-finals.
– Why?
– For the fact that the leader finished first, there are no options.
– To what extent are you in contact with your boss?
We have known each other for a long time, we have been running together for a short time. Before that, she was engaged in a different genre, pushing the core.
– Are you going to push in Sochi too?
– Yes. I also have a core, a 200 meter run and a long jump.
And the boss then?
– We raced together all summer, preparing for this departure. He is himself a Paralympic champion, he is very well prepared.
– What is the T12 category in which you compete?
– These are athletes who, without a leader, can go beyond the lanes, for which a disqualification will come.
– In ordinary life, do you manage without outside help?
– Of course, bad eyesight affects, I live with it, I’m used to it. If something happens, it’s a common thing.
Do you wear sturdy glasses?
– My vision is not corrected, if you talk about diopters. The main thing is that the glasses are dark, otherwise the sun blinds, said Burkova, 22.
