Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene said that she was pleased with her performance at the All-Russian athletics competitions “Memorial of Yuri Lukashevich and Vyacheslav Seredkin”, and also commented on unsuccessful attempts at a height of 2.02 meters.
On Saturday, Lasitskene took first place in the Chelyabinsk tournament with a score of 1.95 m, the athlete did not submit to a height of 2.02 m.
– I was in a good mood, because as soon as I arrived in the arena, the guys surrounded me. It turns out that everyone was waiting for me, they get very sick, they worry. I knew that the people of Chelyabinsk loved athletics, but it inspired me a lot. It was part of the fact that I entered the industry in such a mood. I am satisfied.
Gennady Garikovich (Gabrilyan) said put 2.02 after 1.95. I did it, I was not afraid of such a big step. We thought that in such an environment it is useful to climb there. It turned out how it turned out. I do not rate and do not want to rate attempts. There is a lot of work and it is starting to come. The coach has seen it all, knows it all.
A gift for Gennady Garikovich’s birthday is ready, but I haven’t given it yet, because we arrived yesterday, and the celebration in the family circle will be ahead. I will not reveal secrets, I will tell you on the 25th.
January 29, dear and beloved “Battle of the Sexes”. Further Slaviansk-on-Kuban, the first time we will go there. It’s very interesting, I want to jump there,” Lasitskene said in an interview with the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) press service.
