European Track Cycling Championship Medalist Diana Klimova said she was preparing to return to competitive practice in April.
Klimova suffered a back injury in a traffic accident and had to undergo surgery. In January, for the first time in a long time, she joined her Marathon-Tula trek team for a training camp.
– I just started training – I came to the first training camp with the team. On Jan 6, I had a back scan, the neurosurgeon said I could exercise and allowed me to exercise. Before that, there was only rehabilitation,” Klimova told .
Is there a fear of resuming training?
– There was fear, but only before getting on the bike. I understand that for now I need to do more exercises to strengthen my back and my whole body. Then there will be more confidence.
– How will you start the season – on the highway or on the track?
– Probably from the freeway. I am thinking of the April races in Maykop, in May – at the Grand Prix on the track, then at the championships of Russia on the highway and on the track. In six months, I think I should gain in condition. I have good muscle memory and endurance, but speed skills for the track need to be worked on.
